Susan Silton's latest photography project packs centuries of history and cultural politics into what many think of as a lowly design element: the stripe. Conjuring the auspicious line's past as a marker of the social outcast (stripes in the Middle Ages adorned the garb of prostitutes, jugglers, and clowns), Silton has layered shimmering, colorful patterns on top of stills from '50s and '60s apocalypse films. The images below are not immediately discernible, indicating perhaps that easy markers of social deviance often mask more than they reveal.
