The Gentleman

Performance art based on Elliot Rodger

“Royal Osiris Karaoke Ensemble, the ‘musical priesthood’ formed by Tei Blow and Sean McElroy, finds mystical absurdity in modern life by splicing found media and ancient ritual. In ‘The Art of Luv (Part 1): Elliot,’ the group explored toxic masculinity by repurposing YouTube videos by the mass murderer Elliot Rodger while dressed like pagan gods.”
