Chris Herzfeld's Superheroes: Toxic Debris
Date/Time: Thursday, 28 July 2016 - Monday, 31 October 2016
Location: Level 3, The Hub
Cost: Free
More information: Visit website
A sequel to Superheroes: Golden Vengeance, this photographic comic strip by Chris Herzfeld is on display on level 3 Hub until 31 October 2016 during Barr Smith Library hours.
Superheroes: Golden Vengeance and its sequel Superheroes: Toxic Debris are Parallax Graphic collaborations and form a collection focused on heroes.
The work analogises good vs evil and the archetype of heroes, and brings to the fore the daily bombardment of imagery and the interplay between sacred stories and crass consumerism in modern culture.
