Unbekannt. Unvergesslich. Havanna 1962

Coming soon

Archive note

A turntable-woman hybrid rendered in Cold War modernist style, advertising an unnamed DJ or radio personality who performed in Havana during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The figure—dressed in geometric-patterned cocktail attire with a turban—doubles as both performer and instrument, her body merged with vinyl playback technology. The German text suggests a European broadcast or tour promotion, now lost to history. Collects era-crossing anomalies: when music, espionage, and design merged in the shadows of October 1962.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.
