Marxizm de Sad 1998

Arsen Savadov's 1998 photograph "Marxizm de Sad" is a provocative work that explores themes of power dynamics and societal norms. The image features three men in a forest setting, one dressed in a suit and bunny ears, another naked and on a leash, and a third crawling on the ground, also wearing bunny ears. The work's title, referencing both Karl Marx and the Marquis de Sade, suggests a critique of political and social structures, while the use of animalistic imagery challenges traditional notions of human behavior. Savadov's work often utilizes humor and absurdity to challenge the viewer's perception, prompting reflection on contemporary society and its complex power structures.
