Sue Dodd
The GossipPop Diet
00:21:43 2004
Compiled like a Countdown or MTV featurette, this video contains four tabloid inspired original GossipPop songs: Yoyo Diet Queens, Fears For Spears, How to Get Famous - The Cheat’s Guide and Is Paris Addicted to Love? Employing eighties style lo-fi blue screen technology and bad lip syncing the performers bounce over magazine imagery and celebrities on icy-pole sticks.
This video was originally exhibited for 2004: Australian Culture Now at the National Gallery of Victoria, Federation Square, Melbourne as a video projection component for the installation The GossipPop Diet.
This project was supported by the Australia Council, the Federal Government's Arts funding and advisory body.
All songs have been performed live in GossipPop performances.
