[Match Covers], 1984
Scope and Contents
Barbara Kruger's sets of matches are printed in black & white with messages as follows: "you are an experiment in TERROR, Your comfort is my silence, Surveillance is your busywork, We have received orders not to move, Your manias become science, Charisma is the perfume of your gods, and You construct intricate rictuals which allow you to touch the skin of other men." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
