Description
Jim Shaw's My Mirage is a groundbreaking body of work that recounts the story of Billy, an American who becomes lost in the psychedelic utopia of the 1960s and 1970s. Through nearly 170 pieces created using various techniques such as drawing, silk-screening, photography, sculpture, and film, Shaw explores themes of failure, identity, and spirituality. The work is structured around a narrative that follows Billy's journey from adolescence to adulthood, with each piece referencing the format of a book. This innovative approach allows readers to engage with the entire story for the first time, while also providing a unique insight into the artist's creative process. By presenting itself as a culmination of Shaw's original project, My Mirage - The Book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of American counter-culture and graphic design during this period.
