Kruger has created installations of video, film, audio and projection as well.
Her work focuses on consistently about the kindnesses and brutalities of social life: about how we are to one another.
Her graphic work is mainly black and white photographs with overlaid captions set in white on a red poster.
Her focus was to fuse broad cultural images as a whole and place them toward narrower signs of personal interpretation.
For some people, shopping has turned into a lifestyle consuming at our leisure.
Consumer culture has a strong power over the people.
The focus is about what we buy and what we choose to invest in, the world we live in will be the result of these choices.
I feel that this is the message that barbara kruger was trying to portray through her art.
