Photograph by Kenneth Shorr, 'Obedience Training' from the portfolio '20/20', C-type colour photograph, USA, 1985

A colour photograph depicting an image consisting of both photographic and painted representations of people positioned around a table. The three figures seated behind the table appear to be adults whilst the two below the table seem to be children. Each of the figures are engaged in their own activities which they are performing around the table. The background consists of abstract hand-coloured shapes conveying that the image depicts an interior scene.
