The artwork, titled “Untitled” and created by Tetsuya Ishida in 2001, belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls within the genre of symbolic painting. The artwork depicts a startling and thought-provoking scene. It features multiple identical figures of young men, each seated in what appears to be an automated teller machine (ATM) booth. These figures are dressed in typical business attire, with their pants lowered, emphasizing a sense of vulnerability and captivity. Each figure holds a banknote, conjuring themes of dehumanization and the monotonous routine of modern life. The setting is stark and reflective, with the repetitive nature of the individuals and booths adding to the unsettling, surreal quality of the composition. The imagery strongly symbolizes the struggles and mechanical existence of individuals within the constraints of contemporary society.
