On Thursday, I am going to the first screening of the premiere of Daniel Barrow‘s latest performance/manual animation, Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry.
I have been excited about this/waiting for it with anticipation since I found out about it last September . It is the only thing getting me through this last week of school (that, and Costa Rica…and beer).
It sounds kind of creepy:
Daniel Barrow’s newest “manual animation” combines overhead projection with video, music, and live narration to tell the story of a garbage man with a vision to create an independent phone book chronicling the lives of each person in his city. In the late hours of the night, he sifts through garbage, collecting personal information and then traces pictures of each citizen through the windows of their homes as they sleep. What he doesn’t yet realize is that a deranged killer is trailing him, murdering each citizen he includes in his book, thus rendering his cataloguing efforts obsolete.
I am going to bring kleenex just in case his work (because it always does) makes me cry.
