Marilyn
Experimental / Video Art.
A rhythmic, 2-minute visual assault where the ubiquitous face of Warhol's Marilyn Monroe is stapled onto the sacred masterpieces of the Renaissance and Baroque.
A hand enters the frame, armed with a heavy-duty stapler and a stack of cut-out Marilyn Monroe faces. In a relentless, rhythmic ritual, the pop icon’s gaze is forced onto the giants of art history.
From the tender faces of Mary and Jesus in the Italian Renaissance to the dramatic, fleshy bodies of Rubens and the shadowy figures of Goya—no one is safe. One by one, the pages of art albums are "re-branded." The holy becomes the commercial; the unique becomes the duplicated. 75 years of pop-culture obsession collide with centuries of tradition in a 120-second frenzy of paper and steel. By the end, the history of art is no longer a gallery—it is a mass-produced wallpaper of the same haunting smile.
