When there's nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire.

This is a dramatic media installation in an abandoned building at the corner of Hastings and Abbott. Very striking. As I stood staring at the flickering video flames with my mouth open, one of my "neighbours" (I use the term loosely), a ghost of the downtown east side, stood beside me, silently, watching. Then he turned to me and smiled. "Groovy, huh?"

Very.
