Holy Toast!

from Cursed Objects · host cursedobjects

It's Episode 9, and this week Dan and Kasia are looking at the transcendental appeal of cheap religious tat, and the mass reproduction of images. There is faith, forgery, bootlegging and breakfast... and glow-in-the-dark Baby Jesus keyrings. We ask why Topshop went through a phase of selling rosary beads, and why people buy postcards of the Mona Lisa. Moreoever, does the reproduction of art reduce or expand its political power? Key object: Virgin Mary toast stamp. This is the penultimate episode of Series 1!
