Catalogue Note
"For this project, I limited myself to specific iconographic motifs taken from the following files: Religious Performances, Thugs, Dance, Hick and Hillbilly, Halloween and Goth, Satanic, Mimes, and Equestrian Events. Many of the source photographs are of people in costume singing or dancing, so the resulting tapes are generally music videos. In fact, I consider Day Is Done to be a kind of fractured feature-length musical....My intention was to create🔯 a kind of spatialized filmic montage: a feature-length film made up of multiple s♏imultaneous and sequential scenes playing in architectural space."- Mike Kelley
