In The Dissipation of Authority, painter Julia Wachtel (b. 1956, New York) juxtaposes a character from Sony's Killzone to a sausage character of a vintage logo from a sausage company. The artwork, shown last Summer at Elizabeth Dee Gallery in New York as part of "Empowerment", is a visual meditation of the notion of authority, control, and violence.
