Name Of Piece: Los(t) Sesenta – The Lost 60s
Media: Video/Audio
What is its artistic merit?
This piece is about a decade that was full of turmoil, sacrifice and change; all of that has fallen into the backs of the minds of the current generation.
What was my process?
It originated as a seven-second piece about the life and death of John Lennon. It then evolved into a social piece about The Beatles and what was simultaneously happening in the world. From there I distilled it down to just their music, which provided me a jumping point to address some of the events that occurred in the 60s that changed the social landscape.
What do I want the viewer to get from it?
Remember the events that preceded us.
What was my concept?
The sixties was the final call for “Help!” in the sense that the events of then influenced what is now happening. It is also a cry for remembrance.
