Piccadilly Circus, Paul McCarthy

This 348-page, two-volume edition contains extensive documentation of two pieces from 2003, "Picadilly Circus" and "Bunker Basement." Using the Victorian interior of an abandoned bank on Londons Piccadilly as the on-site location for this video performance, and a rudimentary re-creation of that banks subterranean vaults in his studio outside Los Angeles for supplementary footage, McCarthy has staged a slapstick Twilight of the Gods that also doubles as the most disturbing Sadeian fantasia since Pier Paolo Pasolinis Salo.
