Work

James gained recognition with his large-size work KΘ, short for kalos thanatos (Greek for beautiful death), from 2008. KΘ consists of a 244 x 244 x 488 cm, double mirrored show case that contains James‘ burned 355 Ferrari Spyder, which he destroyed in an act of sacrifice derived from Greek antiquity. The mirrored glass multiplies the remains of the car ad infinitum and the moment of destruction is frozen in time. The piece was first presented at a preview for the MoMA Associates, New York, and in 2010 at a solo show at Patrick Painter Inc., Los Angeles.
