{"product_id":"my-mirage","title":"My Mirage","description":"\u003cp\u003eComposed of nearly 170 pieces—each one drawn, silk-screened, photographed, sculpted, filmed or painted in a different style—\"My Mirage\" (1986-1991), the first major body of work by Jim Shaw, recounts the wandering of Billy, a white, middle-class American sucked into the whirlwind of the sixties and seventies. Structured like a \"Bildungsroman,\" with successive chapters structuring his various, gradual mutations, the book provides a social and cultural image of an individual in the 1960s and 1970s, creating a quasi-encyclopedic compendium of American vernacular iconography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the onset of the series, \"My Mirage\" has been constructed with the idea of the book as model. Not only does the overarching narrative takes the form of a coming of age novel, but many of the individual pieces make direct reference to a book format. Created in close collaboration with Jim Shaw, the book thus presents itself as the culmination of the artist's original project.
