L'Inconnu. Subversif. Porcelaine.

Available · one owner only

Archive note

Promotional poster for an unrealized carnival performance commissioned by the Barranquilla arts collective, 1987. The piece documents a skeletal figure rendered in translucent porcelain, posed in balletic defiance against a gradient sky. The French title—roughly 'The Unknown. Subversive. Porcelain.'—suggests a conceptual art intervention that combined baroque spectacle with memento mori imagery. Archive note indicates the performance was cancelled weeks before opening; no photographs of the actual installation survive.
