A living obituary. A loving altar to the ones we adore, frozen in thought for perpetuity. A study in postmortem idolatry, Rachael Johnston remixes iconic cult images, exploiting our neoteric devotions to much worshipped deities. Death Notice bookends the Brunswick St Mall as part of the temple of BIGSOUND, with a thought-provoking melange of idolic figures. Pay your respects, sacrificial offerings optional.
