Immortal Beloved


Borrowing the format of an amateur vlog dedicated to its Youtube audience, Immortal Beloved reimagines the video as a romantic production for the singular recipient. A 19th century love letter written by Ludwig van Beethoven is recited by the artist in the role of an influencer giving thanks. Simultaneously speaking to the viewer, his phone, and his own reflection, the subject flirts with his mirror image in a Narcissusian curse.
