In 1998 Jacques Chirac being president of France is as head of the state also responsible for Foreign Affairs. He lifted his hand and nuclear tests were given free way. Thomas Ruff shows airplanes that start to lift off, human bodies as tools are scattered around. He takes the photographic collage as a means to criticize political structures à la Dada artist John Heartfield.

There is a theory on mirroring texts that create an extra moment of contemplation between what is shown in the image and told in the text. Here, textual parts are used for getting such a division between looking and reading, apparently.
