Homeland Security Collection



"Artist and political activist, John Douglas’ Homeland Security work is a chilling series of provocative photographs taken of the artist himself holding M16s naked and then duplicated on a computer. Sporting an M16 and nothing else, Douglas becomes a “one-man army” standing in for the “ugly American” impulses of the Bush administration’s unilateral “go it alone” warmongering as well as the “citizen militia” types, i.e. the ones who would lynch a census worker, armed to the teeth. Funny, disturbing and brilliant. I was really impressed by Douglas’ work. I think you’ll agree that these images are striking!" - DangerousMinds.net
