A man appears in the form of a black silhouette against a backdrop of continuously changing vivid colors. After bending to take a bow, he begins singing, dancing and moving to the beat of the song. Intermittently the silhouette fades or becomes two silhouettes to form a symmetry as if standing in front of a mirror; sometimes it also splits into many silhouettes layered on top of each other. This video project consists of four parts, featuring, respectively, the four songs Oh Donna, I Shot the Sheriff, Purple Rain, and Tira a mao da minh xuxa. The exaggerated wailing of the songs is interspersed with sudden exhortations in Portuguese, and as this repeated switching back and forth continues, the borders between familiar and unfamiliar and between pop culture and high culture become gradually blurred. (At the request of the artist, this video was screened in English and Portuguese without Korean subtitles.)
