Here’s a visual glimpse of Paco Pomet’s Internacional—a striking image featuring a vintage vehicle laden with an absurdly chaotic pile of figures on its back, rendered with Pomet’s characteristic mock-historical and slightly surreal tone. This was one of the big hits from the “Dismaland” art installation set up by Banksy in England, about 10 years ago - later released as a print.

In an interview, Pomet described Internacional (2008) as portraying “very dramatically and humorously the absurdity of our presence (as a rare species we are) in this world.” He called it the most widely shared of his works online. Pomet notes that the painting ties into our disconnection from nature in the modern era. The industrial age—with its assembly lines and urban migration—alienates us from our natural roots, fostering an inflated ego and a compulsion to dominate the world
