In modern history not far away from us, the power elite left their mark in the early days with exquisite and expensive clothing and accessories, or in an environment with noble furniture and decorations. Later, they changed significantly. How does this paradigmatic shift in status symbols occur in order to be photographed against the backdrop of a work of modern or contemporary art? And how does art create a concept that is exclusive, cannot be copied, and can be strictly distinguished from the meaning of other things, and by claiming a certain spiritual quality and intellectual sovereignty? To become a central figure in the power arena and to exert influence on so many levels almost unprecedentedly in history? Or even expand to extend the price and value like branded goods?

These cultural features, intertwined by power and its rhetoric, images and art, are carefully peeled away and gradually become clear through the analysis of the images of big figures in this book.
