H2O Whole Plate 1974

"H2O Whole Plate" is a 1974 black and white photograph by American artist Thomas Barrow. The photograph depicts a simple scene of a chain-link fence and a concrete wall, punctuated by a series of circular holes, presumably made by bullets. This stark and minimalist depiction of a seemingly mundane object, infused with an undercurrent of violence and tension, exemplifies Barrow's artistic interest in exploring the everyday through a lens of subtle intrigue and existential questioning.
