Thermonuclear maps
D.1963-3
The audience were told to fire rifles at the pictures and obtained a free copy of the catalogue if they managed to hit the eye of one of the politicians. On the wall next to the targets a series of so-called directives made by Debord hung. The directives were white canvases on which Debord had written slogans like: “Abolition du travail aliènè” (Abolition of alienated labour). In the next room J. V. Martin’s ‘thermonuclear maps’ hung. The maps were large paintings that depicted the world after the outbreak of the third world war.
