From the DIVA Fair. We find this video in a bathroom. The artist, Douglas Fishbone found all of the images on the internet and narrates it himself. HERE is another great video of his. It is called 'The Ugly American', again he uses appropriated imagery, and his own 'lunatic ramblings'. There is playfulness and critique at work in his juxtapositions - appying a personal perspective to the crazy over mediated world around you. I completly relate to this syle of working. It is empowering to take the thing you have the most comtempt for and reinvent it as your own. This is the cure for the sickness but only a few can provide the necessary 'spoon full of sugar' to make the medicine go down.click picture to watch
