Shown as an installation at Participant Inc, NYC. Screened at The Museum of Modern Art, NYC, Museo Nacional Centro De Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid and at Pacific Film Archives at the Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley. Like an update of George Romero's now classic 1978 barometer of cultural depression ("Dawn of the Dead"), "Hollywood Inferno" (two-channel video, 2001-02, 40:00), takes the viewer through the alienating world of a teenager named Sandy, a modern-day Dante, who descends into consumerist Hell on the escalator at the Mall.
