Description:

The My Booty video is story telling conceived as a crossing of two different massive and global video-narrative genres: cultural and acts of confession.

According to international laws of discourse, war booty is a term coined to describe militarily useful property seized from an enemy in a time of war (from Wikipedia).
My Booty is a meta-narrative about collectionism and power stories. The narrator confesses a criminal act while a fixed camera shows pages of pre-Columbian productions and books of German collections.
