What Happens to the Posters After Election Day?
“If Obama is elected president, however, the man in the pictures is no longer a symbol of identity and aspiration. He’s the boss, “Leader of the Free World.” He has power. Ubiquitous images of his face take on a creepy Dear Leader quality, implicitly commanding obedience.”
Regardless, Shepard Fairey continues his excellent run of Obama posters. I hope to see these around the city soon.
