Spaghetti Western is a large-scale video production composed of complex live performances, outdoors, shot as just a few continuous takes. The video concept was highly political–a fever dream turned nightmare of American gluttony and consumerism. It featured Uncle Sam as a manic child on stilts and ended with a pile of flesh suit-clad bodies writhing naked in food scraps.
