"Unveiling the Mysteries: Cartons as Portals to Hidden Worlds" Step into a realm of enchantment and intrigue with cartons, those unassuming vessels that hold secrets untold. Like the pages of La Poupee by Arthur Sturgess, they beckon us to explore beyond their cardboard confines. In an advertisement for Viota cake mixes, these humble cartons become gateways to tantalizing flavors and culinary adventures. They promise delectable delights waiting to be unleashed with just a simple tear. But they are also harbor darker tales. Take BATAILLE's Apocalypse of Angers, where they feature prominently in scenes depicting the New Worshiping of the Beast. These haunting images remind us that even seemingly innocent objects can be imbued with sinister symbolism. Delving further into history, we uncover Captain John Treasure Jones' matchbook archive, revealing how cartons once served as miniature canvases for artistry and branding. Each matchbox tells its own story - a tiny treasure chest holding memories and connections from days gone by. Meanwhile, Major Faure Chomon presents gift cartons in Cuba - symbols of generosity and celebration amidst tumultuous times. In this context, these boxes become tokens of hope and unity amid chaos. Returning to BATAILLE's Apocalypse of Angers, we encounter The New Jerusalem depicted within these very same cartons. Here lies a vision of utopia encapsulated within their walls – a testament to human imagination striving for perfection. Yet not all is serene; Christ wields his sword against evil forces in another panel from this apocalyptic masterpiece. Here we witness the power contained within these unassuming containers – capable not only of harboring treasures but also defending against darkness itself. And finally, as we reach the 7 Last Plagues poured out upon humanity in BATAILLE's work once again; it becomes clear that even our most cherished possessions may ultimately crumble before divine wrath.
