Part of an ongoing collection, Cover Version Series, My Way plays with the notion of the double or the idea of the copy as images of Hollywood stars blended into one another and innumerable versions of Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ were overlapped becoming indistinguishable.

My Way written by Paul Anka and popularized by Frank Sinatra has been covered over 100 times by different recording artists, for My Way, multiple recordings are presented together as one new rendition of the original track as an amalgam of musical styles, eras and genres. “Cover Version Series is a playful interrogation of the exhausted and familiarised languages of film and entertainment history”.
