ERD “Ideology Materialised” Long Sleeve T-Shirt — Black
Black heavyweight cotton. White and pink print, front and back. ENFANTS RICHES DÉPRIMÉS woven label at the neck.
Front: Two elements centered on the chest, stacked vertically.
Upper text — in small pink caps, centered:
Q. HOW CAN THE MASSES BE MADE TO
DESIRE THEIR OWN REPRESSION?
Center: A framed photograph — portrait orientation, black-and-white, high-contrast xerox/screen-print style. An extreme close-up of a human face: forehead down to cheekbone, one eye open and staring directly into the camera. The image is ghosted and grainy, partially dissolving into the black ground. Confrontational and intimate simultaneously.
Lower text — in small pink caps, left-aligned:
A. FASCINATION: SPECTACLE SEDUCED
A. BY ITS OWN PROMISCUITY
The front reads as a philosophical Q&A — a political theory provocation (referencing Deleuze/Guattari via Foucault) reframed as garment copy.
Back: Three elements layered.
Upper text — very small pink caps, widely spaced, across the upper back:
TAKE YOUR DESIRES FOR REALITY
Center: EǁRǁD — very large, bold pink type. Each letter is separated by a double vertical bar (ǁ), creating a graphic rhythm — EǁRǁD. The letterforms are clean, condensed, and dominant, spanning the full back width. Overlapping the lower portion of the ERD type: a tilted, partially visible document or manuscript — a dense page of handwritten or typewritten text, rendered in white, partially cropped and angled — suggesting a letter, a score, or a manuscript page.
Lower text — in bold pink caps:
IDEOLOGY MATERIALISED
The back composition reads as a political poster: a slogan above, a brand name as monument, and a subline below — with a hidden document embedded in the type. The phrase “Take your desires for reality” is a direct citation of a May 1968 Paris graffiti slogan.
