Sex



"Sex"
8x8
Helvetica, American Apparel advertisements, farewell letter to 1500 illegal workers.
Tariq Sabur, 2009

This is a piece I made in school today. aaaah art school. where artists can make statements.

I thought I would share.
This piece is commentary on the use of sex in advertisement. It is composed entirely of internationally released, public display advertisements. The center "E" is a farewell letter from the CEO of the advertisement's company to 1500 factory workers that were deported upon being discovered to be illegal immigrants.

Please note: This is not, at all representative of all the wonderful things I have to say about the glory that is Sex. But i made it in school and thought it was cool. :)
