“Can you tell me one thing”
Original Artwork
One of a kind, and released as part of a collection of 10 unique original artworks, this piece was created using Gregor Hildebrandt’s signature rip-off technique. Working with strands of pre-recorded tape, the artist coats one skateboard with an adhesive, gluing down the strands lengthways up the skateboard’s face. He then peels each piece off one-by-one, sticking it onto another skateboard to create a “negative”.

In this case, the song is The Organ’s Can You Tell Me One Thing, prompting the lyrically inspired name “CAN YOU TELL ME ONE THING”.
