‘The Phoenix Portal’ (2005) is a narrative remix video which explores the potential for video to function as a time travel device. In this remix, River Phoenix from the 1991 film My Own Private Idaho travels back in time to visit his younger self (and Ethan Hawke) in the 1985 film The Explorers. This sci-fi story attempts to make visible the internal logic of the video remix – an art form that produces disturbances in the space-time continuum.
