Collaboration with Jason Kunke.
Poster was distributed throughout parking lot onto parked cars during accompanying sound performance.
Accompanying sound performance combined the Rolling Stones’ 1969 “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” with the Mick Jagger’s 1969 soundtrack for Kenneth Anger’s film “Invocation of my Demon Brother” starring Manson murderer Bobby Beausoleil.

Poster distributed during the performance connects and maps the various events and connections between key 1969 figures.

In the structure of this infinite regress, the power of the hierarchy is reinstated and the counterculture fails.
