The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image


Part 1: Dreams
"Dreams addresses film’s ability to transport viewers out of their everyday lives and into states that lie between wakefulness and sleep, sending them on journeys into the darker recesses of the imagination."
To all the people who attended this exhibit at the Hirshhorn yesterday in the hour and a half prior to closing...
the people who didn't understand the concept of "using your indoor voice", much less "your indoor IN A MUSEUM voice"....
the people who think an art gallery is the perfect place for a nap or some heavy petting....
the young adults who can't see a penis without giggling....
the not-nearly-young-enough people who think sculptures and jungle gyms are one in the same....
the people who couldn't just be quiet and contemplate the amazing, raw, graphic images and perhaps walk away a slightly better person....
to all of those people:
Shame on you!
