Images cascade and collide in Acetone Reality, as animation, found images, and the artists’ own video recordings crash against a dialogue between computer-generated voices exploring the wonders of acetone and the nature of meaning. Across Sara Magenheimer (Art and Theft, NYFF55) and Michael Bell-Smith’s (Rabbit Season, Duck Season, NYFF53) teetering montage, blocky pixels, smeared colors, and cryptic iconography constitute an “insane, yet validated reality.”
