Dead Troops Talk (A vision after an ambush of a Red Army patrol, near Moqor, Afghanistan, winter 1986)
Jell Wall – 1992

Here is the image in question, sold as transparency in lightbox. Jeff Wall is world-famous for his large-format backlit Cibachrome photographs of staged scenes inspired by the history of art. In his conceptual style, he also refers to philosophical problems of the photographic and artistic representation.

It depicts a fictional scene with a battlefield. The soldiers are coming back to life, resembling a zombie horror movie.

This went on sale at Christie’s New York in May 2012.

It made a cool $3,666,500.
