Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot
Looped DVD on monitor with headphones
Dur: 6m 45s
2004



 

Notes:
The image spins counter clockwise at 33 1/3 rpm whilst subjecting the viewer to an audio collage of death metal music played backwards. The five pointed ‘baphomet sigil’ is appropriated (as it was by the Death Metal fraternity of the day) as a totem for the manipulation of the long-playing record and the imagined (?) manipulation of teenage minds. “Satan Laughs…” harks back to this period of hysteria and invokes the doubt, fear and paranoia of it's subject.
