...people’s lives in fictionalized written and videotaped media,” Bethel said, “the fabric of their reality became something fictive, subject to the rules of analysis we apply to a novel or a film.”Further into the gallery, faint whiffs of apple emanated from a crate filled with decaying red apples punctured with nails.
