Toned gelatin silver print - from 'Pictures of Wire ' // Vireo on Barbed Wire by Vik Muniz is a toned gelatin silver print from 1995, part of the Pictures of Wire series and limited to an edition of five. This delicate piece captures a small bird, a vireo, perched on a stretch of barbed wire, rendered with simplicity and subtlety. The fine, minimalist lines create a poignant contrast between the gentle nature of the bird and the harshness of the barbed wire, evoking themes of confinement and resilience. Muniz’s work often explores contrasts and materials in unconventional ways, and here he uses barbed wire as a metaphor for restriction, juxtaposed with the innocence and fragility of the bird, inviting reflection on freedom and captivity.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
