THEN SHIELDING HERSELF FROM IT BY USE OF COSTUMES

A BODY OF WORK 

THAT'S LITTERED WITH STEREOTYPICAL TABLOID HEADLINES

AND INCREDIBLY DETAILED FROM HEAD TO...

"PAPARAZZI" SPEAKS TO THE MEDIA / CELEB RELATIONSHIP

AND IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECENT PAP LAWS PASSED

LASTLY - A VISUAL PRODUCTION THE ARTIST IS MOST FOND OF

A DOOR THAT HAS SYMBOLISM WHICH REQUIRES VERY LITTLE EXPLANATION

PHASE THREE * "CUZ THIS IS THRIL-LERRRR...THRIL-LERR NIIIGHT..."

PHASE FOUR * "WHO'S BAD??"

THE METHODOLOGY AND DETAIL

COMBINED WITH HIS INTRIGUING USE OF ACTUAL MJ ALBUMS

MAKES FOR A LIFELONG JOURNEY OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S LIFE AND CAREER IN A MATTER OF MINUTES

THIS WORK IS ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE ALBUMS USED WERE FROM GEORGES MONFILS' PERSONAL RECORD COLLECTION * VINYL USED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS "KING OF POP" PIECE + ALBUM JACKETS USED FOR COMPANION PIECE "FOREVER MICHAEL"
