Air Guitar
Guitar heroes rocking out without their guitars.
Academic Rationalization: By deconstructing the pop culture icon of the guitar hero, the artist recontextualizes the existence of the non-object and implies the question of the viewer’s involvement in the art-making process, i.e. distancing techniques, semiotics and transgressional strategies. 
 
Common Explanation: Guitar players can get away with making some funny faces and postures but, when you take away the six-stringed excuse, they look pretty silly.
