Candice Breitz - Profile

The work of Candice Breitz explores the influence of commercial pop culture within a global context. Working Class Hero (A Portrait of John Lennon) deals with the trauma of Lennon's childhood and Kohn is one of the most touching works of the 20th Century. Lennon yells his injuries, his anger and his despair, and 25 out hardcore fans are doing it according to their idol. In addition to 8 students from Newcastle and 5 fans from Liverpool were people from Wales, Scotland, Japan, Italy and the USA participating in the project. The complete work lasts 39 minutes and 55 seconds, and is in an infinite loop shown. Loops, endless repetitions are Breitz ¹ obsession. In Working Class Hero, the trauma and archetypes of the psyche in a ausgespuckt and continuing in an endless loop wiedergekäut. As in previous portraits of Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and Madonna Breitz investigated here the relationship between a global culture and its local manifestations. The use of fans singing the pop culture according to their needs and connect them with their very personal stories. This illuminates Working Class Hero also an impressive chapter in the recent history of Great Britain. (Excerpt Bawag Foundation, Vienna)
