Through a particular version of myself, in the video of my rap song, I proclaim myself the God of Art. I tell you and show you my gold-disc in recognition of the sale of 500,000 copies of the album with Warner Bros Music and, even, I confide in you when the rap icon Eminem, who produced the song and hosted the recording in his studio, was later clearly inspired by my rhymes for his song Rap God. In the installation, along with the projection of the video animation and the display case that houses the golden LP, I have included some copies of my album with the recorded track. The backs of the discs bear the inscription "This artwork must be autographed to be authenticated": therefore, I impose that the viewer who wants to have an original copy of the work, or rather own a part of it, must turn into a fan of mine and, as per my request, ask for my autograph.
