Clear urethane plastic with plastic GI Joe parts
Michael Rakowitz’s Fedayeen Helmet-Flint explores the intersections of history, mythology, and warfare. Made of clear urethane and GI Joe parts, it references the helmets of Saddam Hussein’s Fedayeen militia, linking them to pop culture icons like Darth Vader. Through this work, Rakowitz critiques the cyclical exchange between real-world conflicts and their fictionalized representations in Western media.
