This print depicts a passage through Hamilton's installation in that exhibition. As with <i>Q.E.D.</i> (E.1075-1993; a computer-aided colour print, made in 1993, in which he definitively updated the now iconic image he made for a poster for 'This is Tomorrow' (E.176-1994)), Hamilton re-visits a moment in his own career to comment on historical shifts since that moment.","physicalDescription":"30-colour screenprint on paper.
