The Gores
1974, printed 2011

A chaotic scene inside a store with "SALE" and "CLOSED" signs on the windows. Three individuals in eccentric costumes and masks appear to be robbing the place, with one person lying on the floor, another holding a saxophone, and the third grabbing a man by the leg. The scene looks like a still from a film or a staged photograph.
