Flores flips the necrophilia of celebrity worship on its head by asking what the consumed object might've *thought* about being immortalized—it's a nasty, smart inversion of the Warhol mythos that most people are too reverent to even attempt.
A formally restrained meditation on image, repetition, and the archive, working within the silkscreen tradition Warhol himself established while interrogating its ethics through the very grammar of experimental cinema.
The three-minute constraint forces an almost violent economy—every surreal gesture, every shift in perspective has to earn its space, and that discipline is what keeps the conceptual premise from collapsing into mere provocation.
