Foreign Policy Superstar is a photographic zine that questions how war is aestheticized and how media constructs the way we see conflict. Through layers of rephotographing and reprinting, digital pixel blocks merge with analogue film grain, causing the images to disintegrate, and stripping them of their context.
Sitting in the uneasy space between critique and complicity, the zine opens up a space to question authorship, spectatorship, how images shape political narratives, and our growing numbness to mediated suffering.
