3-Minute Strike

This first published volume of Christian Casas’ work features the infamous image of Elian Gonzalez repeated page after page, the image growing duller and duller as the series progresses, laying bare the effect of repetition and memory. The book includes full-page reproductions of artist originals, a hand-written artist statement, and image index in the back. Reproductions represent a large body of originals that utilize watercolor, oil pastel, graphite, concrete poetry, video, and steel-plate monoprint. Each copy includes a hand-drawn crayon page created by the artist along with a pack of crayons, inviting the viewer to complete the second coloring page.
