Agah Harap


Agah Harap's latest “Super Hero” photography series depicts old black and white war and political photos doctored by including familiar fictional super characters. I like they fact he’s put a fictional figure into a serious picture. To me this suggests that the soldiers are really as heroic as the popular fictional heroes. 
The soldiers in the picture, are taking art work from the houses that they raided. This used to happen the World War 2.
In this picture, Batman has been put in with a crowd of soldiers. Witch to me, has the same reasons for the picture with Superman.
Though in this photo Batman is facing the opposite way, which indicates he's different from the soldiers.  Perhaps because he is fiction. He is in some ways the same as the soldiers, he is seen as a hero, but in other ways he differs, as he is more of a vigilante, and is also fictional.

In this picture, two prisoners are playing chess. I like this photo because it's not what I expect prisons to be like, and is a nice way to think happens in prisons, and is what prisons should be, prisoner passing the time nicely. To me the picture looks peaceful.

This photo distresses me, as the people behind the barbed wire, look cramped and personally i do not like this. I looked up why these people are put behind the wire, and found they are arrested for the assassination of Anastasio Somoza in Nicaragua in 1956 , which changed my view on the picture. At first glance I didn't like the idea of these people being like this, but when i understood the reason I felt better.
