opera for string quartet and vocalise
video 9’54’’, 2007

The story of Sardanapalus, last great king of assyria. A remix of opera scenes with a heroic solo sung and played by the artist. Fall of the king, and an empire. A functiooning luxurious surface bursts as traitors come to claim the crown. The king is dying. The tragedy of theatrality. The meaninglessness and “for-its-own-sake-ness“of heoric death.
