In 1936, a few weeks before the start of the Spanish Civil War, the anarcho-communist militant Daniel Guerin published the book “Fascism and Big Capital”, one of the first documents to point out the existence of a military-industrial complex that played a central role in the political and economic interests of imposing wars within Europe and in the global south.

Since then, this industry has evolved into immeasurable technological developments aimed at killing the other not only faster, not only in greater numbers but mainly from a greater distance, while at the same time having had enormous territorial and economic expansion through the continuation and reinforcement of imperialism through military invasions and the control of territories and populations in the global south.

The military-industrial complex has played a crucial role over the past 90 years, but invisibility grants absolute impunity to those responsible for profiting from this industry.

The monopoly has not only been built in economic and industrial terms but also in political terms. Reinforcing a narrative that creates a monopoly of violence has been crucial to sustain a war industry, a monopoly in which the states of the global north have the absolute legal and political power to use industrialized tools to impose violence and death on the population of the global south, who not only do not have the technology to defend themselves, but are not politically and legally legitimized to do so, a situation that has also been reinforced by so-called “pacifist” narratives that flatten and equate anti-imperialist resistances with the violence of colonial power and the military-industrial complex.

The “Target Shooting” project is presented as a classic target shooting game that we find at fairs, but in which the targets to be shot are figures that represent the military industrial complex; the Elbit logo, Raytheon missiles, Lockheed Martin bombs, Israeli tanks, US weapons. One after another, these representations appear in front of the public who will be invited to activate the piece and receive a prize if they hit the target and knock down those who have been standing for too long to impose their power.

The prizes awarded to the public range from a group of anti-imperialist militants made of wool puppets, a bag of soldiers with PTSD, to wooden toys that claim figures of anti-colonial resistance such as
