In her work, Firelei Báez often paints figuratively onto printed materials such as found maps, manuals, and travelogues, layering bodies over historical documents to imagine new possible modes of understanding inherited stories, in light of geopolitics. This work features a group of huddled, uniformed figures superimposed onto a painted reproduction of a found book’s index title page. The imagery is pulled from photographs of U.N. peacekeepers during ethnic cleansing in Eastern Europe, blended with images of U.N. peacekeepers in Haiti who brought about the cholera epidemic following the Haitian earthquake—drawing a parallel between both parties who, according to the artist, “further destabilized an already tenuous space.”
