Re-edited scenes from the six Rocky films play as continuous loops on a circle of six televisions (each film on a separate television). Each screen reflects in every other screen to create a shifting collage of scenes. This work explores the concept of the movie sequel by highlighting the repetition of tropes from one film to the next. In the Rocky films, there is always a rematch or a new challenger right around the corner, regardless of how old Rocky gets or how many times he retires. This installation questions the primary themes of the Rocky saga. Is the story of Rocky Balboa a narrative of ongoing triumph, or never-ending hell of confrontation and self-abuse?
