The End of Acoustic, from the installation All Indian All the Time, in which Luna blends his music with that of rock-and-roll icons such as Hendrix and Springsteen. His guitar doubles as a traditional dance stick.
James Luna demonstrates the blending of Native American and contemporary identities using contemporary clothing and musics. Applying one point perspective for dramatic effect, he stands looking down with authority at the viewer, shirtless, wearing a contemporary suit paired with Native American beads . He appears in performance
art in tribal clothing and then in contemporary clothes. The guitar blends the music of both cultures.
