Heaven’s Gate

Directed by Marco Brambilla

Creating a continuous loop through cinematic history, New York-based video artist Marco Bramilla satirizes seminal moments of the silver screen in large-scale video installation, Heaven’s Gate. Oscillating between hyper-saturated imagery, capturing the polarities of the Hollywood spectacle, the piece explores the tensions and intersections of religion, industry, and celebrity – the meteoric rise and catastrophic falls, and the loss of innocence to experience and excess.
