The Ten Commandments of the United States of America reflects on the discrepancy between political statements and the actual actions of the US government. By analyzing historical and important speeches by US presidents, ten of the most proclaimed statements were identified and phrased in reference to the biblical Ten Commandments. Images depicting the actual reality of the US politics are placed on the backside of each commandment – the downside of reality, so to speak. The core of the gatefold publication marks the conclusion of these statements. Whether it’s meant to be cynical or hopeful is up to the reader to decide.
