Historic Preservation

30 31
RETURN to S.A.L.A.D. homepage

The final pair of posters, 30 and 31, relate to the practice of historic preservation. 30 provides a rare example of S.A.L.A.D. addressing a local and specific injustice. The poster, a simulation of the original movie one-sheet, disfavorably and justifiably compares the devouring expansion of UGA to the amorphous Blob. Again, the automobile is indicted for its negative role in the landscape. 31 literalizes the connection between "boys and their toys" and "boys playing with their own toys" in contests of power and demonstrations of strength that devastate the landscape but inflate flaccid, male egos.
