The Zoetrop was created by William Horner in 1834 and was origianally named the "Dardalum" which means ("wheel of the devil").
This "toy" was based on Plateau's phenakistoscope but it was a lot easier because more than one person was able to view it at the same time.
The way the Zoetrop works is that a sequence of hand drawn objects or images on strips of paper is placed at the bottom of the drum and slots are cut at the top of the drum just above where the pictured slips are positioned. When the drum is spun the images create an illusion of motion which is viewed by looking through the slots that had been created.

Barbara Kruger
A work of art by Barbara Kruger
The way I feel about this work of art is that it gives the viewer a very blunt message.
To me the message is harsh. For example, when it says, "go hang around someone else" or, "a jerk you are"
The person is obviously expressing their feelings towards someone who is a fake and is being completely honest about how they think about them.
I like this work of art because she is standing up for herself and making it clear who's taking charge.
Overall, I believe this is a bluntly honest message telling all the fakes to get real and stop being so in love with themselves thinking their always right.
