Lucky Strike
Works in Jan’s Market Makers series reflect on the role that branding, marketing, and social media have played in our lives.
In Lucky Strike, a posed portrait of Jan is laid into a mid-century advertisement, a la American portrait artist Cindy Sherman, to reflect on the way advertising and marketing communications can ‘get it wrong,’ as in this case, marketing carcinogenic products as if they were just another tasty snack.
