THE BRIEF AND FRIGHTENING REIGN OF PHIL

"What's that part of a guy doing in our country!?" This novel by George Saunders narrates the story of a border dispute between two countries, Inner Horner and Outer Horner.  Inner Horner is so small only one inhabitant of the country may fit inside it at once, and the other six have to wait their turns in the surrounding area of Outer Horner. Phil, an Outer Hornerite who manipulates his was into the presidency, makes life extremely difficult for the inferior Inner Hornerites, who do they think they are anyway? This artwork references the situation of the inner Hornerites, confined to a cage of their own. Just like the novel it uses strange objects juxtaposed with each other to create the scene.
