This installation of collaged drawings stems from The Hunt of the Unicorn, a series of seven tapestries hung in The Met Cloisters, New York. Made in Flanders at the turn of the 16th century, these ornate tapestries have long been the subject of art historical debate over their meaning, iconography and provenance. Expropriated from their aristocratic owners during the French Revolution, they were later used to protect fruit trees and potatoes from frost or to keep horses warm in the winter months. They were later re-discovered and sold to JD Rockerfeller Jr in the 1920s who subsequently donated them to the Met. These events have added new layers of history to the tapestries' surface which undulate with areas of damage and repair. This patchwork quality is echoed by the artist’s use of blue painters’ tape as a material to stitch together, collage and draw connections across a range of imagery, including fantastical figures from The Lord of the Rings to a mysterious circular form described as the ‘The Secret Identity Stamp of the Peasants’ in an old edition of Friedrich Engels’s The Peasant War in Germany. Across the lines of association made by Keogh – from Anduril’s Sentry cameras which use AI to spot migrant boats crossing into the UK, to material drawn from the Warburg Institute’s Photographic Collection – the artist emphasises the mobility of images between revolution and control, between private power and peasant subterfuge .

During the exhibition the collage was used to stage a live performance int he Warburg's auditorium which brought two of the collages characters into dialogue as they search to find the origin of ‘The Secret Identity Stamp of the Peasants’.

The Unicorn Crosses a Stream Cartoon was part of the group exhibition 'Conspiracies' curated by Larne Abse Gogarty at The Warburg Institute, London in Feburary 2026.
