Label copy

This is one from a series of works appropriating speech bubbles from science-fiction comics. There’s No Justice transports the words uttered by a comic-book character in a dystopian future to our own time, putting the viewer in the place of the speaker and letting the phrase “There’s no justice there anymore! Let it burn!” establish its own relationship to current events. -Gardar Eide Einarsson
