Greenback Boogie

Ima Robot

The video begins from a couple of public toilet, and then slowly, with time the camera will move sideways and upwards, multiplying the bathrooms, with just about anything coming in and out of it.
Whether someone comes in to pee, or to snort cocaine, to get laid or throw up, drunk dancing or smoking weed, from a priest to Santa Claus, from a drag-queen to a policeman, from a biker to a punk, from a gentleman with a briefcase to a little girl, from an old lady with a cane to someone dressed as Elvis, from a whore to a serial killer etc. The ending is a crescendo with the camera moving upwards again showing more and more bathrooms, until the closing of the video, when the screen will become an infinite mosaic of bathrooms.
