The collaged photograph sits at the centre of the composition with the authority of an image that has earned its place in the cultural imagination permanently — black and white, graphic, completely iconic — surrounded by a ground of deep black and violet alive with oil stick marks in pink and blue that move across the surface with the loose, urgent energy of a crowd that cannot stay still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marks are the audience. The energy in the room.
