Pen on Chateau Marmont stationery
10 1/4 × 7 3/4 in | 26 × 20 cm
Unique work
Rendered in pen on the iconic letterhead of Chateau Marmont, 88888 merges repetition with ritual. The title’s sequence of eights—symbols of infinity and luck—echoes like a mantra across the page, transforming a simple gesture into something talismanic. The piece is both minimalist and mystic, suggesting a coded message or private invocation.
As with much of Luke Haeger’s work, the choice of material is intentional. The stationary, already imbued with a mythology of celebrity and transience, becomes a charged stage for Haeger’s exploration of symbols, states of mind, and ephemeral energy. Each mark is purposeful, every surface a site of quiet reflection.
