Tribute To The Slits

»Review«

“Or How We Didn’t Become Famous”—Tribute to The Slits—This work originated from a theater poster advertising a musical about England’s first female punk band, the Slits, from the late 1970s. The band’s German founder, Ari Up, died of breast cancer at age 48. In this modified version of the poster featuring the musical’s performers, images of the Slits from the early 1980s appear to follow the performance.

The foundation of this piece is a photograph of a poster taken in Dinard, Brittany.
