Andrea Loux recycles in “Power Games (Gun Girls)” (2007) Internet imagery, aiming at the naturalization of violence in the US. Teenagers show proudly the size and caliber of their rifles and guns while sporting polished red nails. The subjects are then subverted and transformed into a target with the almost imperceptible intervention of the artist in the reverse side of the image, assisted by silver nail polish.
