You’re the First, The Last, My Everything

The karaoke video was created in 2014 for the Karaoke (ART) project initiated by Random Scream. Fifteen internationally acclaimed artists including Tim Etchells, Gary Hill and Laure Prouvost were invited by Random Scream to create their own video for a popular karaoke song and asked to use their own personal style to reflect on what it’s like to live in the world today with the song as their conduit. The artists were free to create whatever video they desired as long as it clearly embedded the karaoke music and words. Johan Grimonprez chose the song You're the First, The Last, My Everything by American singer and songwriter Barry White from 1974 and edited it with a YouTube clip of a weird cloud like object that fell from sky in the United Arab Emirates.
