Black Scat proudly presents DIVA R.E.M. — a special series of seven, two-sided posters. This glorious addition to our Black Scat Broadside series features full color photographs, art and text on front and back. Each poster is 12″ x 18″ and printed on prime 80# UV-coated, acid-free stock.

Born with original sin and a fascination with religious ritual and imagery, artist Farewell Debut uses her spiritual angst and sexual anxiety as raw material. DIVA R.E.M. is a paper opera of sorts—the tale of Diva (played by a damaged ballerina ornament) who falls in love with heaven (a hellish lover, played by a dead insect and a shard of unidentified plastic). Fauré’s Requiem in D minor was the inspiration for this work and is a suitable soundtrack for a darkly humorous visual requiem.

Available individually for $10 at the links below. To order the entire series of 7 at a divine discount, email us for details: blackscat (at) outlook (dot) com
