L'Inconnu Subversif: Le Carnaval Caché
Coming soonArchive note
Promotional poster for a fictional French surrealist carnival event, featuring an androgynous figure in iridescent pastel costume crowned with an oversized elephant mask. The figure presents as a porcelain sculpture, its soft-serve aesthetic suggesting a blend of kitsch, haute couture, and anthropomorphic absurdism. The watermarked archive stamp and gradient sky imply this was ephemera from an underground Parisian art event never officially documented. Appeals to collectors of European avant-garde hoaxes and surrealist performance history.
