i <3 david altmejd's work. i <3 his references to modernist design, architecture, subversion of art history tropes (sol lewitt, joseph beuys, dan flavin, bruce nauman), his references to '80s opulence, a dario argento wet dream.
i also love that he can create environments, as opposed to just installations. his 'installations' are immersive, a world apart. they're cinematic because cinema could easily happen in them. they beg for narrative and a sense of confused linear time.
