Raining Blood

 

Raining Blood (Installation View), 2006, Mixed Media

 

Detail


Raining Blood
For this work, Schipper has taken a classical plaster figure of a Greek god, approximately three feet tall, cut him apart at the joints, and hard wired him to a machine that “plays” the Slayer song, “Raining Blood.” The song has been converted to a player piano reel so that the machine is activated according to the beat. The figure does not so much dance to the song as moves to its underlying logic.
