In a narrative that Kennedy envisions taking place 400 years in the future, invaders have come to Earth, and Brooklyn residents must defend themselves from the attackers with the everyday objects found around them.

Using street signs from historically significant Brooklyn neighborhoods, Kennedy has created machetes, shields, and swords that have meaning, and are remarkable works of art.

[Coby] Kennedy’s futuristic weapons collection is titled “In The Service Of A Villain”.

“A lot of the street signs are from places in Brooklyn that have history and weight, places that are losing that particular culture”.
