THIS IS THE END BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
2008
Single Channel Digital Video


The photograph that was appropriated to create this video is of my grandfather in 1972 in my mother's apartment in Hollywood, CA. In the original photograph he poses next to a television with flowers and phone on top of it, a record player, a shelf with boxed dolls and a classical roman statue. On the television plays the opening sequence of the 1979 Vietnam war movie "Apocalypse Now" that was shot in the Philippines in 1976-1977. Also placed in the photograph is a picture of the Hollywood sign burning and Louis Vuitton luggage sitting in the corner.
