This collection highlights three works from Parnes’s 1990s-era, revealing the artist’s innovative use of appropriation and experimental film techniques to comment on the aesthetics and politics of popular culture. The films embody a decade marked by the rise of reality TV, online chat rooms, violent video games, MTV, and celebrity culture. With mordant wit, the artist deploys and scrambles these sources in non-linear narratives that feel like you’ve entered a k-hole of angsty youth.
