Live From Las Vegas (2003) is a video that combines images of subway ads for a Britney Spears concert with found footage of Las Vegas animal acts. The ads had all been physically altered with graffiti. Documenting these "refashioned" ads eventually inspired me to make my own on-location revisions. I think of LFLV as a collaborative project between myself and a phantom public — an improvisation that comments on an aesthetics of manipulation and the media's perpetuation of ritual signifiers. The audio is a composite of Spears’ music and interviews.
