Tadasu Takamine's “God Bless America”, a continuously looping stop motion/live action video of he and assistants modeling a huge and monstrous head with an unmistakable resemblance to George W. Bush and consequently accompanied by an appropriately garbled and fractured rendition of God Bless America. Shown in 2003 in the Arsenale during the 50th Venice Biennale.
