Heaven's Gate is a video monument to Hollywood's veneration of glamour while retelling the history of the world in seven distinct phases. Employing spectacle to describe a familiar and universal story, the digitally assembled images generate a hyper-realistic landscape of clouds, meadows and cityscapes, against which humanity oscillates between enlightenment and production. With each cycle and succeeding level of the work, Heaven's Gate engulfs the viewer in a level of density in imagery almost impossible to sustain.
