Trigger
Type A

“Targeting for a safer America” is the slogan of Law Enforcement Targets, Inc., a business based in Minnesota that supplies training targets of all kinds, including those of the Type A collective. These two artists like to test the limits of what is “artistically correct.” The various alarming scenarios that the Type A collective has concocted – from armed hold-ups to zombie attacks – catalogue the risks and fears, both real and fictional, of contemporary America.

Law Enforcement Targets, Inc. has played a crucial role in the conception of the series, since they determine the production and distribution of the photographs: the criteria for selection are the wishes of their customers, cultural relevance, and realism (the height of the figures, the choice of weapon, etc.). With 400,000 Type A targets sold so far, the collective pursues its socio-artistic project by investigating not just the American culture of fear, but also who makes art.

Year of production: 2011
