It intertwines research on surveillance with the cyberculture of the 1990s, a cultural current that continues to echo through and reinterpret today’s world in increasingly relevant and multifaceted ways. In our present era, battlefields are no longer confined to the physical realm; as reality becomes virtualized, the material cannot be overlooked. Lands, bodies, and identities become sites of struggle, where historic phrases are revisited, reminding us that history itself never truly ends. The slogan highlighted in red reactivates and reinterprets Barbara Kruger's iconic work Your Body is a Battleground, expanding its scope to include other forms of embodied identity: territories, lands, and broader conceptions of selfhood. In doing so, it repositions Kruger’s message within a contemporary framework, where not only individual bodies but also collective, environmental, and geopolitical identities are contested spaces. This is a fragmented map of a global, rhizomatic, and delocalized landscape, shaped by forces that, through conflict, negotiate a shifting balance between domination and resistance.
