A Problem

Grantees

Project Grant

A Problem is a satirical video installation which offers two different modes of viewership. A speech by three jaw oracles describes the politics and poetics of “the problem” in the film. Juxtaposing the theater of Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett, and The Muppet Show, their speech moves between depictions of a banal catastrophe to descriptions of tacky emotions. This video is viewed through The Last Hour of Cabinet I, a funeral scene of sad Ikea Detolf cabinets.
