Continuing her examination of the anxieties, stresses and types of psychological response that present-day history elicits, Franco Klein has taken rage to be the talismanic emotion of our time, something widely felt in response to world events just as it is manufactured, manipulated and even deliberately produced by both media and political elites. In her new photographic series, Franco Klein considers the multivalent nature of rage—as collective action, personal choice and cultural fabrication—through images that cite advertising and news reporting, cinema and photography, while at the same time remaining suffused with an emotion that, while referential, is still tangibly, even urgently, felt.
