School assignment by: Experimental Jetset
2002

"Paul is dead"
is an urban legend alleging that Paul McCartney of The Beatles died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike.
The Jetset, fascinated by conspiracy theories asked us to develop "New Beatles Death Clues". We should come up with hints and hidden messages adding to the mysteries surrounding the band.

I came up with the following story:
The Beatles are now iconic and part of popular culture. Memorabilia can be found in antique stores around town. An elderly fan, still in his "Paranoid Vison" sees new proofs of conspiracy theories in the way the Beatles objects interact with their surroundings.
