Welcome to a New Gilded Age! You are entering a world created by artist B. Lynch, inhabited by the opposed factions of Reds and Greys.
Privileged and powerful, the Reds absorb and consume all of the wealth and mobility. Meanwhile, the oppressed Greys struggle in a post-apocalyptic landscape to make ends meet. The archetypal characters appear in various guises throughout Lynch’s multi-media extravaganza, where they interact with and impact one another, creating a multivalent commentary on the corrosive nature of income and power disparity. With this alternate world, B. Lynch holds a mirror to our own, wherein you must examine your desires, prejudices, and behaviors that perpetuate the systems of inequity and conflict.
