Dead Comedians

This work is in memory of Phil Hartman, Gilda Radner, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, and Andy Kaufman.

Video installation Dead Comedians transforms the physicality of six comedians into something less tangible. Juxtaposed images and sounds of collected performances, death news coverage, and relics acquired from landmarks amount to an abstract mapping project that highlights the value that we often ascribe to artifacts that serve as our links to famous dead people.
