关于这幅画
Ojibwe artist Andrea Carlson thinks of the way dominant cultures (usually white U.S. or western European) identify others as “exotic” as a kind of “cultural cannibalism”—sensationalizing in order to objectify and consume them, even as they erase them through assimilation.
The dense, layered imagery in Sunshine on a Cannibal is drawn from particular Native American artworks, European paintings, and conceptual artworks, and reclaims what “westerners” have historically sought to define and objectify.

The central “Tower of Babel” rests on an upside-down base of the same tower, suggesting that even in recreating itself the dominant culture is a victim of its own cultural cannibalism. The words “Mondo Cane” printed on a mask reference the 1962 Italian film of the same name, in which filmmakers mixed documentary footage of various “non-western” cultures with staged scenes to produce a “shockumentary”— believed by an unsuspecting public to be entirely factual. Carlson's work challenges the concept of other and asks us to consider how cultures are consumed by one another.
