‘The first of many collaborations with Madonna, which started in 2002. Seeing Madonna as a performance artist, I decided to create an environment where we could explore the process of an artist. During the shoot, I had many video cameras documenting each scene, which later turned into the opening piece of the Re-Invention tour with Madonna narrating Revelations from the Bible. It also evolved into a 2003 video exhibition at Deitch Projects in New York and a limited-edition book called X-STaTIC PRO=CeSS.’
