Atomic Kiss, Joan Rabascall, 1968
‘Atomic Kiss reflects the year 1968. It was the year of student protests from Berkeley to Berlin, via Paris. The refusal of the Vietnam War, the threat of a possible world war…’
"On the other hand, and in a more subtle reading, Rabascall reflects on the power of the media, alluding to the onslaught of invasive and massive images to which we are subjected."
