Immediate Response:
I asked myself “What is this 30 minute long thing?”. I most certainly did not enjoy what I have seen. It seemed so out of the reality that the story was casted in a place where nothing made sense. Music selection affected the way I looked at different sections of the video. For example the the music that was overlapped for first 5 minutes really irritated me. It didn’t have smooth harmony whatsoever but a messy set of sounds in an endless manner. I believe it is chosen to be that way since it is hard to achieve such chaos without aiming for it.
Objective Description:
The video took place in Guggenheim Museum. The apprentice, the pink male with Scottish Kilt and bloody cloth in his mouth is the main character. In the floor ground by the pool the topless ladies are making the start. In 5 different stories there are 5 different characters are set. The first Level had the bunny ladies dancing. The second floor had the punks followed by the tiger lady in the third floor. Fourth floor was composed of building materials that needs to be done in a specific way but it was unclear. Fifth floor had the man throwing wax at a black substance he set up.
Technical Decisions:
The costume selection for the piece was very vibrant both in terms of colors chosen and the forms of the clothing. However for the top floor and the second floor where the world we know might be placed in had a more ordinary scene. I think the camera angles were used appropriately, many different angles yet it was clear that the artist didn’t want some documentary style. He showed what he wanted to in a moderately descriptive manner.
The Work In The World:
I don’t know if this work has any work in the world I want to be in. I don’t know how to make sense out of it. It is really hard to follow and frankly I don’t think it adds anything the world. The piece could be used in music classes to demonstrate how overlapping different songs could end up.
Story it Tells:
I could follow that the apprentice needs to go all the way up and get challenged by different problems. Since he doesn’t interact with Richard on the top floor I am not what is going on there. When he completes the cycle once he takes a bath and this crazy weird worlds keeps spinning in its own overlapping reality.
