The Whole World is Watching: Weatherman ‘69
1989
ln this full-length film, Pettibon calls into question the counterculture utopia of the 1960s.
Continuing on from his graphical work as part of the American punk scene, Raymond Pettibon made this video with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Mike Watt. Here the musicians embody members of Weather Underground, a New Left anti-imperialist and anti-racist organisation, known as the Weatherman when it was created in 1969. The work documents the fictitious activities of the organisation (readings, music sessions, destroying vinyl records), faced with other actors playing, for example, Jane Fonda and John Lennon.
