Škorpion vz. 61 Sub-Machine Gun 'Sting in the Tail' Print

Sting in the Tail (Print Edition)

Limited Edition of 100 Worldwide
50.8 x 76.2 cm (20 x 30 in)

A bold visual metaphor that unites power, fragility, and financial critique, Sting in the Tail is now available as a limited edition fine art print — offering collectors around the world a chance to own a piece of Bran’s most provocative work to date.

Originally conceived as a sculptural statement piece, Sting in the Tail challenges the viewer to confront the uncomfortable relationship between warfare and wealth. The image features the iconic Cold War-era Škorpion vz. 61 submachine gun — deactivated and adorned with genuine U.S. dollar bills — aimed directly at the systems that finance global conflict.

From the weapon’s barrel, a flurry of origami butterflies appears to burst forth — crafted from real Afghan, Iraqi, and American currencies. This delicate eruption of symbolic beauty emerges from an instrument of violence, creating a powerful contrast that transforms brutality into elegance, and destruction into delicate protest.

This museum-grade archival print captures every intricate detail of the original sculpture — from the texture of the dollar bills to the precision folds of each butterfly — preserving the tension and narrative of the physical piece in striking two-dimensional form.

Whether hung in a home, office, or gallery, Sting in the Tail stands as a bold conversation starter. It interrogates the influence of capitalism on conflict and invites viewers to reflect on the true cost of war — a message that remains as relevant today as ever.
