Fuck You, Ronald Reagan
Fuck You, Ronald Reagan. is a direct and confrontational work that interrogates the historical relationship between power, policy, and queer erasure. By placing the image of Ronald Reagan within a fractured visual field, M. Izer reclaims and disrupts the authority he represents, exposing the violence embedded in political narratives of the past.
Cut-out text fragments—“WANTED: the Doomed. Psychological aspects of a growing problem.”—reference real historical language used to pathologize queerness. Removed from their original context and reassembled, these phrases reveal the constructed fear and stigma imposed on queer identities. Alongside the figure, a jagged, heartbeat-like line suggests instability, crisis, and the lived consequences of such rhetoric.
The collage operates as both protest and memory, confronting a legacy of exclusion while asserting a refusal to remain silent. Through fragmentation and recontextualization, Izer transforms archival material into a powerful critique of institutional harm and the narratives that sought to define and diminish queer lives.
