This Narrative is Making Me Curious
We know very little about Dennis Day’s video installation at Paul Petro Gallery. But we know enough to be curious about ‘This Narrative is Killing Me,’ a piece that is reputed to journey through ‘Transylvanian moonscapes, Baroque parties and fraternity joyrides.’ Count us in for all three. Well, maybe not the fraternity joyrides.
On a tangentially related note, why does any film festival professing to be cool use the rusty old real-reel pun? Day’s work was exhibited at the Reel Queer festival. To us, this is on par with naming your coffee shop common grounds, and thinking yourself clever.
Plus, it’s confusing.
– Get reel.
– Reel Asian.
– Reel World.
– Reel pride.
Okay, we’re tired. And isn’t everything digital these days? Who even uses bloody reels?
