"Rec-elections (Romney Great For '68, #1)"

"Rec-elections" is a campaign of site-specific performances and
interventions, which took place at multiple sites in New York City and the
Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL during the 2012 Presidential
Election.
The project questions the weaponization of nostalgia and history as tools
of manipulation within political campaign advertising.

Utilizing similar advertising strategies to Conservative political parties, I
weaponized nostalgia by appropriating specific campaign signs and posters
of past historical Presidential campaigns which referenced slogans of time,
or had a connection to the present, like the Romney 68' poster.
These posters and signs were re-inserted back into the context of
the 2012 Presidential election during performances in protest marches and
rallies at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL and NYC.
Posters were also wheat pasted around New York City.
The project exists as protest signs, t-shirts, and a series of photographic
documentation of site-specific performances and wheat pasted posters.
