”You know when religious people see their idols’ faces in pieces of toast or in stains on cloth or walls I was thinking about what it would be like to see very ideological messages in places where you least expect them. Imagine going into a supermarket and seeing an anti-capitalist message appearing on the shelves like a miracle.”
