HIPNOSTASIS, 2009
Hipnostasis is a 6 channel video installation. The inspiration for the piece comes from the past-life therapist which Okón and Pettibon visited together, and who told one of them that in a past life he had been a hippie cult-leader who died in a collective suicide.
The multi-channel video-installation explores the subculture of old hippies from Venice Beach. The videos feature men who have been living on the beach for more than 30 years faithful to their non-materialistic ideology, forming an alternative community that, despite its lack of touch with mainstream culture, manages to survive.
