Description from the seller
HAPPY DRUG is a collection of emotional capsules created by Popléa Labs.
Each capsule transforms an iconic cultural reference into a collectible work.
Limited edition to 12 copies in the world.
Each work is numbered and accompanied by a unique certificate of authenticity.
Through the fictional concept of Popléa Labs, the collection distorts the codes of the pharmaceutical industry to question our modern dependence on images, childhood heroes, cult characters, and collective memories.
Like an imaginary laboratory, Popléa Labs “encapsulates” these cultural references under glass in order to preserve them and transform them into collectible objects.
Each capsule represents a dose of memory, nostalgia, or emotion that is immediately recognizable.
The collection is constantly evolving: new capsules are regularly archived while the previous ones become increasingly difficult to obtain.
Collect the story before it is complete.
The piece is hand-signed, ready to hang, in a 4x4 packaging with insured shipping included.
