I miss you like Hell was a video-installation diptych that traces the limits of apocalyptic political ideology and experiments with a radical imaginary discourse on absolute authority. It addresses anxiety, nothingness, the absolute Telos; the unbearable lack and the return of the Master after the Death of God. The image/text arrangement mimics lacanian topographical graphs of the psychic orders of the symbolic, imaginary, real and the sound follows new age, contemporary tech-fetishist aesthetics.

In right panel's visual-poetic adaptation of scripture, fragments of Paul's epistles to Corithians referring to the psychic aspect of the notions of Law and Love, are turned into celestial bodies. A textual constellation, a newly-formed firmament floats in an empty, dark universe.
