The
video project is executed in preeminent style and is a persistent exploration
of the artist’s perpetual thesis: the philosophy of formation of the young
mind under oppression from the glittering images of mass culture. This
project involves much staged activity and grows closer to the cinematography
genre than any of the previous works. Through the images of the pop culture,
four teenagers are trying to analyze temptation of fame and resistance
to the loss of identity.
The project "Before
They Were Beatles" presents a 4-channel synchronized film projection.
The unique feature of this installation is that the video clips can move
from one video channel to another seamlessly while keeping the action
of the 4 channels precisely synchronized, united by soundtrack.
Accompanying photographs
are related to the subject of the film and are shot and printed in large-scale
format (from 48x60 to 77x96 inches). Individual photographs were staged
and produced at the same time when the film was shot and carry titles
such as "Brothers in Arms," "Last Supper," "Search For Water," and "The
Party."
