“Trump the Tease”: Aleksandra Mir explores what 87 headlines say about our media consumption

In an exhibition running until 7 February at the Hayward Gallery’s HENI Project Space in London, artist Aleksandra Mir presents a collection of 32 US tabloid front covers dating from 1986 to 2000. Each one, enlarged to a height of two metres, features a headline relating the business dealings, political aspirations or personal life of the current US President, Donald Trump. A curious look-back to a time where no one knew the public figure Trump would become, it’s an exhibition which examines the cycle of information in our modern world, and which proves the power of context.
