Corporate Revenge Trilogy

A creative's guide to corporate revenge trilogy:

• "Sehr geehrter Herr Kippenberger: One Year with Porsche"
• "How a Rolls-Royce F**** with Your Brain"
• "Fallen Star"

"Sehr geehrter Herr Kippenberger: One Year with Porsche" is a brutally honest account of one man's experience navigating the modern corporate automotive landscape at the highest levels. Through a series of collaborations, broken promises and a maze of something called "compliance," Kippenberger presents personal anecdotes addressing everything from fast cars, harsh realities and dealing with a monolith. This is revenge at its finest.

"How a Rolls-Royce F**** with Your Brain" is a textual and visual exploration of place, impression, identity, and identification formed over the course of multiple years. The project takes the form of a printed fanzine-style assemblage of stunning imagery and candid, contemplative written excerpts tracing an extended narrative of discovery, conscious excess, and measured restraint. 

It is is a counterpoint to the prevailing culture of quantity-driven oversaturation – a succinctly curated, thoughtfully produced object of permanence featuring reflections on power, process, and the inner workings of creative industries. This edition of the publication mines concepts of the post-luxury consumer: the discerning consumer that has become disillusioned with established norms of “luxury” and ideas of what constitutes gratification in modern society. 

Excerpt from "Fallen Star": Meetings are an addiction—and that’s by design. They’re there there to keep people busy. A sit-down treadmill that requires all the tedium of working through something, but doesn’t produce the results. The process is a circular one. Hopefully people are too distracted with what’s in front of them to realize that the scenery hasn’t changed. It’s never going to change. The infinite loop has been initiated, the gravitational field is growing and the indoctrination has set in.
