Image and text - Contextual links

Barbara Kruger - Kruger's work shocks you, and I think she purposely uses the text that goes with image to make you feel ashamed about the society we live in.

Victor Burgin - In this photo which is about possession Burgin has used a photo that is linked to possession but the text is about a different kind of possession to throw off the viewer and to make them think.
Jim Goldberg - I saw Jim Goldberg's work a year ago in an exhibition in London. What makes his work so effective is his use of text, the images wouldn't mean the same thing without the sitters words written on it.

Adbusters - The work from Adbusters is ironic and in your face, you have to look twice or read the writing to realise whats its telling you.
