Military College (Photo: Jorge Saenz) + Nazi Insignia + ‘Trumpet of the Apocalypse’, Anonymous Engraving from the Wittenberg Bible, 1535 1995 - 2007

Editor: This provocative photomontage, "Military College," by León Ferrari, layers images to jarring effect. The Nazi insignia dominates, but the angel with the trumpet adds a layer of bizarre contrast. What do you make of this unsettling combination? Curator: It's a potent clash of symbols. The Nazi eagle, a visual shorthand for authoritarianism, looms large. But the angel, drawn from the Wittenberg Bible, represents divine judgment. It suggests a reading of Nazi ideology as a kind of apocalyptic force. What cultural memories are evoked for you? Editor: It makes me think about the way historical trauma can be twisted and reinterpreted. Both symbols carry immense weight. Curator: Precisely. Ferrari is forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about power, belief, and the enduring legacy of trauma. It is a potent visual critique.
