You Are For Sale

  • Step up to the booth, your fortune is revealed

  • The view from the Tarot reader, video on the wall to the right.

  • The deck of advertising Tarot

  • The images are everywhere

  • Everything I tell is you is true

You Are For Sale explores how advertising is the collective subconscious of American culture. It mines archetypal images, it dwells on our desires, hopes and fears. This is illustrated by a Tarot deck created from advertising. Show ran in the College Avenue Gallery, March 2013 and included live Tarot readings by Allen Meyer.

 

The cards are alive: this video was projected on the gallery wall.
