Review: Infinite Monkey Theorem – Metropolis M



A Method for Blue Logic enacts fantasies from Internet conspiracy forums, after the artist received emails claiming them to be an

actress hired by the government to help fake a tragedy. Using these conversations as an instruction guide for self-genesis, a parallel

universe is constructed. And as a personal response to a stranger, the film continually shifts between a strange loop of

cinematic fiction and absurdist para-documentary.

Passengers (2010 — 2014)

edition of 10, unique



Passengers is a series of video works in which the artist has edited himself and others into scenes from Hollywood films, each of which is set in a car interior. The substitution is seamless, largely thanks to his own performance and also the skilled technical execution. Both comic and sexually charged, the silence of the exchanges accentuates and heightens each facial expression and nuance, suggesting meaning and understanding between the characters.
