"For a dead man Elvis Aron Presley is awfully noisy. His body may have failed him in 1977, but today his spirit, his image, and his myths do more than live on: they flourish, they thrive, they multiply. Elvis has become inseparable from many of the defining myths of US culture, enmeshed with the American dream and the very idea of the "United States," caught up in debates about race, gender, and sexuality, and the wars over what constitues a national culture. Just as it is said that the story of Christ may bee the worlds best known story, it can be said that the portraits of Elvis are among the most famous images. Since his death, his persona has been transformed from star to legend, stories to myth and pictures to icon. Elvis have come to be known more or less globally by only one name- like Jesus, Napoleon or Rasputin. And Elvis belongs to the even smaller and more elite rank of those who are forever known as the inhabitants of empty tombs again like Jesus."

Gilbert B. Rodman

I am working with a sociological art project concerning the phenomenon and myth Elvis Presley. I think we live in a time where we get our energy from entertainment, media-reality and popularculture. The american way of life. Elvis is the perfect symbol for the society we live in, and maby we are all Elvis` cultural inherits without knowing it?
