Precession of the Simulacra

1992 22 min

Overview

Manipulated images of water in motion give way to "A ‘Jasper-Johns-like’ digital ode to the Flag– a prescient and expressionistic response to the American political climate of the late 80’s when we witnessed attempts to infringe on Free Speech by denying any critical political use of the American Flag and by the abridgement of artistic freedom [...] The soundtrack, composed by the artist in collaboration with Brooks Williams at Harmonic Ranch, builds to a telemetric electro-frenzy, incorporating fragmented melodic strains of American patriotic songs along with Shelley Hirsch’s near-hysterical vocals as the image of the flag ‘whites out’" -SH. A strobing, probing and unsettling experience.
