There are so many intersected elements that we keep coming back to discover again and again another forgotten detail. The eye is catched everywhere, and the references take us on a journey through the decades of the famous duo's career. Dominated by the mythical Faile Dog, an emblematic stencil from their beginnings, which has become a trademark or even a graphic alter-ego, the work contains references to the popular culture that is dear to them - Mickey Mouse smiles at us on one of the bags - or again at NASA which often inspires them.
