This article explores in depth the themes that resonate through the life and work of Peter Sís, particularly the dualisms of growing up in the Cold War era. More than many other contemporary artists, Sís's way of seeing the world, as well as choice of artistic media, are determined by his reflection on state-ordained and controlled propaganda and the attempt to evade their influence.
