From Magdalene Carmen's 'Addict' series of spectacular flag collages, merging dream & street grit, fine art & industrial pop aesthetics. 'Addict' is (1) advertising x pop culture commentary (2) articulation of the universal corporeal-spiritual, conscious-unconscious tug of war defining the human condition (3) intimation of the artist's particular romantic-erotic psyche in the capital-city context (4) however else it speaks to you.
