Ready! Aim! Light Up!
Lucky Strike commercials from the fifties and atomic bomb tests meet their match.
I love archival films. And Rick Prelinger is a hero for making his collection freely available to the public. I’ve started playing around with some of my favorite archival films, and I just couldn’t resist these Lucky Strike commercials and atomic bombs.
Update: The piece is part of the apexart show. Please vote for it on their page, look for ID#52, ‘Lucky Strike.’ And if you happen to be in downtown NYC, you can go to the show from Nov. 11 to Dec 22, 11am to 6 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. 291 Church St, New York, NY.
