Where Jefferson Davis Became President of the Confederacy, 2018
11x17 archival pigment print · unlimited edition · signed
A bare Black foot rests at the edge of a brass star set into the marble of the Alabama State Capitol, placed by the Daughters of the Confederacy to mark the exact spot where Davis stood in February 1861. The plaque does the work such objects always do: it converts a moment into ground, and ground into inheritance. Standing on it barefoot as an act of agitation against everything Davis stood for, what the Daughters of the Confederacy wanted to happen, this piece is just a clear f**k you to a monument for losers.
