SO LONG BABE (1997)

Single screen video installation with wooden one-steater airplane.

After publishing the fantasy comic book Starvision, Georgina Starr began to develop some of the illustrations into three dimensional works. In Drivin' On (1996), So Long Babe (1997) and the epic Tuberama (1998) she transformed the comic stories into real-life events by building her own personal modes of transportation.
In So Long Babe Starr flies across London in a red one seater airplane to the strains of the Nancy Sinatra song, 'So Long Babe'.
