// Untitled: (Castor #1) by Claire Fontaine, a digital print from 2013, presents a thermal-like image of a cargo train surrounded by silhouetted figures, suggesting a scene of observation or protest. The image is rendered in vivid shades of blue, green, yellow, and red, with one container highlighted in intense red, drawing attention to its contents or temperature. The surrounding figures add an element of tension, hinting at themes of surveillance, environmental risk, or political dissent. Fontaine’s use of thermal imagery emphasizes the hidden or potentially hazardous nature of transported materials, provoking questions about transparency, safety, and societal oversight.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
