Heaven & Hell
Peter Hoskin 3:15pm
The term "video installation" normally sets my cultural alarm bells off. But, on my Sunday stroll around the internet, I've come across one such video installation that's actually quite effective - so effective, in fact, that I thought I'd share it with CoffeeHousers. Entitled Civilisation - and put together by Marco Brambilla - it's a three-minute long depiction of Hell, Earth and Heaven, which meshes together hundreds of pre-existing video clips to form a busy and intricate collage. In other words: Hieronymus Bosch for the 21st Century. It's currently being screened at the Christopher Grimes gallery in Los Angeles - where its 26-foot dimensions must make playing the 'What Film Does That Clip Come From?' game irresistible. But you can also watch it online - along with some of Brambilla's other (sadly, more puerile) works - here.
