The Devil’s Triangles series is meant to embrace Miami’s position within the Bermuda Triangle. Brian Butler employs the souvenir pennant as a nod to Miami’s tourism industry, using flags tasked with sharing regional lure beyond the mysterious boundaries of the Triangle.
The graphics celebrate Miami’s lost landmarks and cultural touch points. A tribute to the television show Miami Ink, alongside a flyer for a notorious Stooges concert count among the flags flown high enough to capture Butler’s imagination from 1400 miles away.
As a resident, Butler grew fond of the aspects of Miami that elude grand promotion. Herein reside flags that champion a place to find a good sandwich, or elude some form of hepatitis in the bathroom.
