"Eat My Fallout" Graffiti, Wendover Air Base, Utah Possibly 1988 - 1995

"Eat My Fallout" is a photograph by Richard Misrach that captures a graffiti tag on a wooden wall at the Wendover Air Base in Utah. The photograph, taken sometime between 1988 and 1995, depicts the tag in a state of deterioration, suggesting the passage of time and the fleeting nature of graffiti art. The image, a stark contrast of the faded colors of the tag and the wood's natural texture, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of the Wendover Air Base and its connection to the Cold War era. Misrach's photography often explores the intersection of nature and human activity, using his camera to document the effects of human impact on the landscape. "Eat My Fallout" encapsulates this theme, serving as a poignant reminder of the lasting effects of the Cold War and its associated nuclear threat.
