More about the release

Deep Fried Cursed Cat is a limited print edition that delves into the ghost stories of the internet—where absurd memes and unsettling images converge into new mythologies. Printed on un-dosed heavyweight blotting paper—the same kind historically used for distributing LSD—the edition features 900 perforated tabs and is produced using only plant-based, food-grade ink.

The source image is a photograph of our Cursed Cat sculpture "deep fried" by master chef Franziska Von Guten—processed through countless layers of distortion to give it the over-saturated, burnt, and uncanny aesthetic that defines deep fried memes. The final image was printed by Caleb Kesey, grandson of counterculture icon Ken Kesey, linking today's digital psychedelia to its analog ancestors.

Deep fried memes—mangled through repetition and remix—embody the internet’s capacity for decay and reinvention. 🐈‍⬛
