Paris Commune

A group of watercolors that superimpose lyrics by anarcho-punk band Crass and statements by the great anarchists of the 1871 Paris Commune, Louise Michel and August Blanqui. In Blanqui’s case the Crass lyrics are superimposed on a story Walter Benjamin tells about the anarchist leader secretly reviewing his anarchist troops on the Champs-Élysées.
