DescriptionA collection of surrealist images for clothing company Mambo. "Since it's birth in the bloated epoch of capital excess (the mid-eighties) MAMBO has refuted claims to purism of any kind. Likewise, the range of MAMBO infiltration has spread with sacred fever to every level of material experience. Commencing, in the modest guise of popularist T-shirt decorations, the revolutionary seed of MAMBO has scattered itself across both spatial (lounge-room floors) and temporal (wrist-watches) barriers. In terms of content, both visual and linguistic, the biting wit of MAMBO has not (as yet) been co-opted by the forces of: TV Sitcom humour, Buzz-words, Supermodel promotional parades of large soft drink conglomerates.
