              Various permutations and combinations of Abraham Zapruder's 8mm home movie footage of the assassination of JFK. My work is intended as an investigation of the footage as a visual, experiential, and cultural document. In the United States this footage is both notorious and invisible; seldom actually seen, it is very well known; when seen, it remains opaque. This work is intended to add a level of "transparency" to the original. It is set to Jajouka music in order to bring to the foreground the ritual aspects of this visual, mechanical, and media historical event. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show

              The meta-fiction is as follows: in a second Mexican/American war, Mexico wins. The USA collapses and the former states fragment into a myriad of micro-republics controlled by a multiracial junta led by the Prime Minister Gran Vato. Spanglish is the official language. The anglo militias desperately attempt to re-establish the old order. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show

              All the images included in this piece, even those that don't deal with the subject, come from gay erotica produced in Eastern Europe since the introduction of capitalism. Above all, this is a portrait of young men trapped in a system which only considers them cheap labor. This video doesn't deal with the transgressions typical of pornography, but with the real pornography of human exploitation. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show
