KLF's People's Pyramid: A Pyramid Made of Human Ashes

The British duo KLF, known for their anti-capitalist performances, have announced 'The People's Pyramid,' a project to build a pyramid from 34,592 bricks, each containing 23 grams of human ashes. The bricks are available for purchase online at £99 each, with a certificate, under the slogan 'Buy Now, Die Later.' The project is featured in the documentary 'Welcome to the Dark Ages,' directed by Paul Duane, which focuses on the KLF's history and this new endeavor. The documentary is available for purchase and rental on the Burning Bridges website. KLF, originally a band active from the late 1980s to 1992, later formed the K Foundation, which notably awarded the K Foundation Art Award of £40,000 to the worst artist of the year (won by Rachel Whiteread on November 23, 1993) and burned £1 million in cash on August 23, 1994, on the Scottish island of Jura. The number 23 holds magical significance for the duo, linked to the Greek goddess Eris. After a 23-year hiatus, they returned in 2017 with this project. The documentary also covers their earlier work, including their music and performances influenced by Situationism and Discordianism.
