Rubén Gutiérrez
Still from Even the Wind Has Fear
2002
at Suite 106

More exercises in melodrama up the block at Suite 106 on Mercer Street, where the Mexican artist Rubén Gutiérrez (he's from Monterrey) is presenting three very, very short video pieces, collages of altered images taken from Mexican soap operas, including the first psychological thriller on Mexican TV. Even the Wind Has Fear, a montage of several startled actresses, ends with a shot of a girl screaming in alarm -- maybe at the sight of us? The DVD, in an edition of five, is $900.
