TONITE (Reprise)
Installation/Video
2 min, 2006
Disappearing in front of the press and the bright lights of television, one woman articulates the contradictions of the present moment:
And you know you're never sure, but you're sure you could be right. Believe. Believe in the resolute urgency of now. Believe that you can change, that you're not stuck in vain. We're not the same, we're different tonight. We'll crucify the insincere tonight. We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight. The impossible is possible tonight. Believe. Believe in me as I believe in you. Tonight.*
*Speech by Billy Corgan
