| NY Theatre.Com Review: Pebble-and-Cart Cycle by Matt Roberson, June 17, 2009 About Clarke's Video: "The first scene,'Moocha: I have a fly on my plate,' begins with a video of a lone diner, half-heartedly involved in following the commands of her physical appetite. Slowly, she is joined by a lone fly, who moves from becoming a curiosity, to a pest to a distraction, to a true obsession. Supporting this movement are sharp, jarring cuts in the video. Watching these almost slasher-flick edits, we wonder whether this woman, who is lost and without control over self, will be able to exert the ultimate control over another." |
