What I’m interested in exploring with the series of work Apparatus of Sovereign Power as Mechanisms of Control, are the functions of biopower (a term devised by French philosopher Michel Foucault which applies to the concept of controlling populations and managing people1), the political mechanisms through which biopower operates, and the effects on identity and the physical self. In this small body of work, I have created four drawings in charcoal that make an attempt to mock scenarios in which

In this modern era, the value of life is what makes sacrifice meaningful. In Agamben’s Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life he discusses the concept of homo sacer, which is “ a body that can be killed but not sacrificed.” He also talks about the state of exception and how “the sovereign exception (as zone of in distinction between nature and right) is the presupposition of the juridical reference in the form of its suspension.” (Agamben 21) This concept can be related to the issues involving

Throughout history, one of the most important things in life for men has been “power.” Having the power to control over the others, having power to keep order among people, and power to be the supreme. So there comes the controversy on what sovereignty actually means? Sovereignty best fits in the category of supreme power, but in order to have such authority there is a need of an existence from a state. The idea of State and sovereignty goes hand-in-hand, because it belongs to the nation and supervises

Giorgio Agamben’s book Homo Sacer begins by addressing the topics of bare life and meaningful socially contextualized life in relation to the philosophical terms of zoē and bios respectively. Agamben toys with the idea that sovereignty naturally coincides with bios, whereas zoē is only “included in politics in the form of exception.” (Agamben 10) This assertion runs parralel to the idea of atavism, which is essentially the principle that humans can often revert to primal and ancestral behaviors when
