when i went to GOMA to view the 21st Century Exhibition i found a work by Candice Breitz called 'King'(a portrait of Micheal Jackson)
Candice Breitz | King (a portrait of Michael Jackson) 2005 | 16-channel video installation: colour, sound, 42:20 minutes, colour, sound ed. 3/6 | 1200 x 500cm (installed, variable) | Purchased 2008 with funds from Tim Fairfax, AM, through the Queensland Art Gallery Foundation | Collection: Queensland Art Gallery
it was the one work i truly enjoyed at the exhibition and i liked the concept of it. this really encapsulates the idea that it is not you as a person that is remembered after death, but the perceptions of others. and even if they are your biggest fan, they can never truly represent what you were.
