Chopping up the first sequence of La Dolce Vita (Federico Fellini, 1960), in which a sculpture of Jesus is carried over the city by a helicopter, the artist made 10 inkjet prints of this sequence. She then wrote five lines from The Wasteland (T.S. Eliot, 1922) on each image, collapsing these two opposing critiques of modernity.
