Fred Can Never Be Called Bald
A sustained, essayistic meditation on the transformation of matter:into new states, new meanings and—via digitization—into the virtual. The title derives from a well-known continuum fallacy—in which a change is said to be impossible because its exact moment of arrival cannot be discerned. Via a distorted collage of YouTube clips, many of which depict extreme physical incidents, the piece attempts to make manifest transformation, to attempt—even if in vain—a better apprehension of the transitive.
