Seller's Description:
Near Fine. 8vo, wraps, near fine copy. Paginated 44-145, not sure why. "Using her typical deadpan humor, Taylor combines loops of dialogue, movement, projected images and texts, redacted Ibsen, problematic pop-culture, and an endless therapy session. A bewildered guest artist is inserted into every performance. Revolving around stories, jokes, and personal narrative, not knowing concedes the flexible nature of reality, history as commodity, truth as an iridescent bubble of soap, and reflects on the irrelevance of what really happened even if it happened to you. By framing her drama within ambiguity, Taylor maps the terrain between moments of awareness, where any emotion can be summoned and all things are possible."--Press release copy.
