This is the 1988 installation at the Zabriskie Gallery in New York, with live rockets. The author wrote to Minsky that the binding accurately conveyed the meaning of her text. Subtitled "The Arms Race and Nuclear War," it exposes the male sexual rivalry underlaying military strategy, including a technical vocabulary with phrases like "deep penetration."
