- Details
Be molten gold is a sequence of poems commissioned by editor Emmy Beber for The Bodies That Remain, alongside texts from artists and writers including Philip Hoare, Jeremy Millar, Heather Phillipson and Lynn Tillman. The Bodies That Remain is a collection of texts and images on the bodies of artists and writers who battled with the frustration of their own physicality and whose work reckoned with these limitations and continued beyond them. Be molten gold describes the morphing body of Michael Jackson as it becomes all of the bodies he was asked to be. The text itself is presented as multiple, subtly shifting, versions, with some ‘drafts’ situating Jackson’s morphing in the context of pop-culture’s fascination with early CGI in the mid-1990s; and others looking for traces of Jackson as human beneath it all.
