Shana Berger

My work has long used billboards as a medium to explore American culture. Viewing the Socratic Paradox (that no can knowingly do evil, because evildoing harms the evildoer, and no one knowingly harms themselves) through the prism of morality billboards – an intrinsically American medium –  highlights America’s currently diverging ideas about evil, truth, and responsibility.
