...visually, if not politically) realized its own propnecy. The mass medias's quest for speed and the exotic pushed the frontiers of exotica so far back and so far back and so saturated the public with images that few people really cared any more about another black and whit photograph...
With other artists in the show, low energy slides into mere inconsequence. Their work is elaborately hermetic, and so looks like a manifesto. But what is being manifested?
