A faded, rectangular red poster is affixed to a textured, light beige wall, likely stucco or concrete, in an urban setting in La Paz, Bolivia. The poster is oriented sideways in the image, with its main design and text running vertically. The print style is stark, resembling a woodcut or linocut, featuring white imagery on a red background. The central image is a stylized, somewhat grotesque, caricature of a human head. It has a prominent nose, an open mouth revealing teeth, and one visible eye where the pupil is represented by a dollar sign. The figure wears what appears to be a top hat. A hand, possibly belonging to the figure, is depicted near the head, holding an object that resembles a cigarette or stick. To the left of the head, large white capital letters read: "CAPITALI$$MO NO FUNCIONA" (Capitalism Doesn't Work), with two dollar signs replacing the 'S's in "Capitalismo." To the right of the head, another phrase in white capital letters states: "LA VIDA ES OTRA COSA..." (Life Is Something Else...). Black handwritten graffiti, mostly illegible scribbles, is visible over parts of the figure's head and the text on the right. The poster shows significant wear, with edges peeling away from the wall, particularly on the left side and bottom right. The red color is visibly faded and weathered. A small, partially visible, black-and-white piece of paper or poster is seen layered beneath the main poster on the far right. The wall itself shows some patches of discoloration and uneven texture, suggesting age and exposure to elements. The overall impression is one of political or social commentary through street art.
