Boro Of Kings
2005
Flatbush Brooklyn native Soner Ön compiles a visual ode to the “Boro of Kings” by employing photocopied collages of old school computer graphics and photographs. Tongue-in-cheek aristocratic overtones are evoked through images of falling coins, royally minded fast-food joints, and Country Club Malt Liquor labels. Appearances by the cartoon characters Mr. Burns and Richie Rich as African-Americans complete the themes of urban royalty and riches. -Printed Matter
