Based on “The 48 laws of power” by Robert Greene, a Machiavellian collection of mantras, designed to control and manipulate people from the top down. The books thesis epitomizes the state of our current political and corporate culture; I can imagine that every CEO and Politician has taken the content to heart. Using press type, white out and quill pens I created a family tree with all the limbs sawn off.
