“A Crackup at the Race Riots” New York trailer by Leo Gabin
From February 21st at Elizabeth Dee in New York Leo Gabin will be screening their 2013 film A Crackup at the Race Riots. For the film the artists adapted Harmony Korine’s weird and wonderful 1998 novel, A Crack-up At The Race Riots. Composed entirely from appropriated, user generated found footage, there is no place for plot, linear narrative, character development, or scene setting. Leo Gabin’s video work is a nearly 40 minute long story made up of compelling, disparate images, uploaded online by unknown amateurs.
