Oliver Laric, with versions of Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Berlin–based media artist Oliver Laric creates a new instrumental cover version and video of the Red Hot Chili Peppers song, composed entirely from video clips of amateur renditions found on video–sharing websites. The film reconstructs the song note by note, as an ever–multiplying audiovisual collage.



“The great thing is how many amateur versions of Under the Bridge exist. I found more than 50 just by doing a quick search on YouTube. Maybe that's a new measure of cultural significance, as opposed to sales and downloads.”
