Queen (A Portrait of Madonna)

Artwork

What happens when 30 Madonna fans sing the iconic artist’s entire ‘Immaculate Collection’ album a capella?

The magic of ‘Queen’ lies in the way the individual voices of 30 strangers combine to create an otherworldly choir in songs like ‘Vogue’ and ‘Cherish,’ suggesting that we are all truly greater than the sum of our parts.

Each amateur performer reveals a heartfelt, emotional connection to Madonna’s lyrics, rhythms, melodies and harmonies. Through song, the fans in each isolated video screen merge into a symbiotic whole, implying that the boundaries which divide us are ultimately porous and illusory.
