APOCALYPSTICK





Je laisse des traces de mon passage /
Sur tout ce que j'effleur' avec mon maquillage /
Apocalypstick /
Apocalypstick

Sur toutes les anatomies /
Ma bouche se dessine en décalcomanie /
Apocalypstick /
Apocalypstick

Tout ce que j'aime et que je touche /
Du bout des lèvres gard' l'empreinte de ma bouche /
Apocalypstick /
Apocalypstick

Rouge de vamp ou de vampire /
C'est avec ce crayon que s'inscrit mon délire /
Apocalypstick /

Jane Birkin, Apocalypstick, 1978
I leave traces of my passage /
On everything I touch with my makeup /
Apocalypstick /
Apocalypstick

On all anatomies /
My mouth is drawn in decal /
Apocalypstick /
Apocalypstick

All that I love and touch /
With the tips of my lips keeps the imprint of my mouth /
Apocalypstick /
Apocalypstick

Vamp or vampire red /
With this pencil my delirium is inscribed /
Apocalypstick /

From the overall proposal, we singled out a few unlikely icons dotted around Hackney Wick for special treatment. What you see below are pollution-sequestering drawings, hand-painted in our custom shades of SUNSPACE to accentuate their particular character, contour their appearance and come alive at different times of day.
