De titel verwijst naar het boek van John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath, 1939) en dient hier als uitgangspunt om een overweldigende, wit-gehelmde politiemacht te omschrijven als de verpersoonlijking van een hatelijke repressie. Het gedicht is een montage van meerdere foto\u0026rsquo;s, waardoor de opeenstapeling en accumulatie van witte helmen zich, zoals een parasitaire schimmel, over het gehele beeldvlak verspreidt; het gewelddadige en agressieve karakter van de hier tentoongespreide machtsontplooiing is visueel sterk weergegeven door de zware knuppels van de zogenaamde \u0026lsquo;wetsdienaren\u0026rsquo;.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":40,"name":"Paul De Vree","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
