DescriptionShot a decade ago in the industrial Midwest on a handheld VHS camcorder, the footage makes for an impressionistic, haunting document of both celebration and neighborhood havoc. A field recording from an earlier phase of the artist’s life,Carnival finds grace notes within observed scenes of low-slung peril—a burning house against a cloudless blue sky.There are no works to discover for this record.
