An anonymous artist collective known as The Secret Handshake has installed a provocative 12-foot-tall guerrilla statue in Washington, D.C., titled 'KING OF THE WORLD.' Located near the U.S. Capitol, the monument depicts Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein recreating the iconic 'Titanic' film pose, accompanied by ten banners and a plaque satirizing their historical friendship.
This intervention highlights the ongoing political and social fallout from the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which has led to the release of millions of FBI documents. By using public art to demand transparency, the collective draws attention to the deep-seated connections between Epstein and powerful figures, a scandal that has recently forced several high-profile resignations within the art world and beyond.
