Double Fantasy, an 18 min dyptych with Jia Hongsheng, John Lennon, Jean Luc Godard, The Beatles, and the students of Tiananmen premiered at The Minsheng Museum of Art, Shanghai, 2011-12.

Double Fantasy was the title of a John Lennon and Yoko Ono LP released in 1980. It was a collection of songs wherein husband and wife would conduct a musical dialogue. In 'Double Fantasy: On Your Own,' Marc Lafia presents a dialogue between cultures and epochs through a series of pairings, prints, videos and sculpture.

The works trace a movement from social revolutions to private revolutions, from collective states to individual states of mind.

As distinct cultures prior to globalization looked to the other, a double of sorts was produced, leading to a series of productive mis-recognitions, phantasms and mirrorings. Actor Jia Hongsheng in Beijing believes John Lennon to be his father; Jean Luc Godard argues that the French Mao’s red book is the way to analysis and social change; the Beatles go to India and look to the Maharishi to transform their consciousness; and John and Yoko lay in bed in Amsterdam for seven days to inspire peace.
