'The World Wont Listen'
(Smiths Karaoke)
'Collins
presents a three-screen video installation of fans singing songs from The Smiths
album of the same name.The
screens represent three sites around the world in which Collins recorded the
karaoke sessions; Bogata in 2004, Istanbul in 2005 and Jakarta and Bandung in
2007. And the music you hear is not The Smiths at all, but a re-recording of
the album done in Bogota with local musicians. It raises questions of the reach and influence of global culture here, and how it
is filtered and interpreted in different societies.' (Taken from an article by Chris
Sharratt)
