Who Wants to Live Forever
AES group, 1998
The main concept of this project is the critic of the global media system. The photo series and video WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER regards not only the media, which uses the sexual scandals and the death of the celebrities but also the exhibitionistic behavior of the media star.
As Woody Allen said, the career top of a media star, who produces nothing but his face on the screen, is death.
