He Hates to be Second (2008)
He Hates to be Second uses excavated fragments from a 1963 article about Robert Kennedy and images and advertisements from similar 1963 publications. The majority of the article is blacked out to highlight key phrases that speak to aggressive gestures that marked this era as a result of building tensions of the Cold War. The text functions as an antithesis to the practice of blacked out government documents that hide sensitive information. This piece focuses on revealing, rather than suppressing, illuminating moments from our past.
