|description_of_content="Everything's Fucked" is a sprawling installation piece that can be entered and explored by a viewer. The installation makes use of doll parts, printed images, sex toys, paints, clays, and other media. Slogans such as "the pope is fucked" or "the police are fucked" can be seen plastered about the installation. The detail that has met with the strongest objections is a printout of the underage singer Justin Bieber urinating through an attached dildo into a sink. | |description_of_content="Everything's Fucked" is a sprawling installation piece that can be entered and explored by a viewer.
