Propaganda



This photo was taken by photographer David Kirby, for United Colors of Beneton.

This advertisement was to promote awareness of aids and its consequences.

The image clearly dipicts a member of a family seriously hospitalized and almost in his last stages of life, due to aids.

The hidden propaganda is to evoke fear and promote safe sex.

Good analysis. Benetton was always known for pushing the envelope with its ads.
