Let 'Em Eat Cake!
A 1930s musical comedy (from George & Ira Gershwin) that predicts the rise of fascism in America, featuring a rabble-rousing New Yorker who overthrows the U.S. government to become President.
Imagine that.
Lyrics plucked from the show provide the inspiration for each image.
Like the play, I wanted to strike a caustic mix of American exceptionalism and fascist propaganda.
A little whimsy + a little terror.
Just a little passion project and a weird piece of history.
