Live Evil Series

Pfeiffer transforms the image of Michael Jackson into a « creature of bristling symmetry ». The recordings are from Jackson’s massively produced HIStory World Tour, attended by approximately 4.5 million fans between 1996 and 1997. The works show a headless Jackson in an iridescent, shimmering suit dancing onstage, his figure mirrored such that only the contours of the body as well as his lanky appendages remain. The dissociated man performs to the viewers’demand, moving in a distorted rendition of the artist’s signature choreography.
