Ad Vice

Tony Cokes

1999, 6:36 min, color, sound

Ad Vice inhabits the realm of the music-video, only to use that form's language against itself in a subtle critique of the interactions of desire and commerce in a capitalist culture.

ITSOFOMO (in the shadow of forward motion)

David Wojnarowicz and Ben Neill 

1989, 22 min, color, sound

ITSOFOMO (in the shadow of forward motion) combines film clips seen throughout Wojnarowicz’s filmography, including footage of Beluga whales and other animals at the Coney Island Aquarium; Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico City; ants crawling on a crucifix; and Wojnarowicz sewing his mouth closed in protest of public silence around AIDS in the United States.
