Adel Abidin, Michael

Michael Jackson, still celebrated universally as an icon of our time, is interviewed after his resurrection. The responses and speech he delivers are a compilation of lyrics from his well-known songs. Resurrected as a prophetic figure, he unveils universal truths about the world we live in. This false prophet is placed on a pseudo-talk show on television, serving as the ultimate pop culture altar.
