AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora ФЕЙК ОРИГИНАЛ

AMA • Pope (1985) – « AURORA FAKE ORIGINAL » - 10/30

The most authentic fake… in Russian.

Following the undeniable success of the Aurora Borealis series, often copied and sometimes censored on grounds of “counterfeiting,” the artist Pope returns with a creation that is even more ironic and unsettling.

In a tense international context, one can read the words ФЕЙК ОРИГИНАЛ (“FAKE ORIGINAL”) in full letters: a subversive wink to propaganda, to fakery and to the illusions we consume every day.

By day, a chromed bear with a futuristic design, a recognizable signature of the AMA collective.
By night, an explosion of polychrome auroras that lights up your walls and turns this “fake” into a luminous icon.

A flamboyant wink to consumer society and official truths: the only fake that is truly original.
