Josh Kline has a politically and socially driven practice. His video 'Forever48' (2013) is from a series that considers ideas of living forever in the digital space, and how our actions are re-contextualised and replayed, morphing and growing until we become unrecognisable to ourselves. The screenplay for 'Forever48', written by Kline and Domenick Ammirati, takes its departure from an infamous interview between Whitney Houston and Diane Sawyer in 2002. This interview ended up becoming one of Whitney’s most startlingly and revealing in terms of her openness about her drug use, self-destructive behavior, and personal relationships. Kline’s Whitney however has rewritten her aspect of her future, one where her death has not happened and she has carried on clubbing at warehouses in Brooklyn. Kline also manipulates the image of Whitney, by superimposing her face over those of amateur actresses’ using open-source face substitution software. A young and healthy-looking actress is left distorted and the ‘person’ who is Whitney is left unclear.
