Details

Using time, memory, and the texture of everyday experience as his mediums, Pierre Huyghe conflates the traditional dichotomy between art and life. Working in an array of cultural formats—from billboards and television broadcasts to community celebrations and museum exhibitions—he reformulates their codes and deploys them as catalysts for creating new experiential possibilities. A mode of perception that lies in the interstices between reality and its representation is the subject of his two-channel video, The Third Memory (2000), which reenacts the 1972 hold-up of a Brooklyn bank immortalized in Sidney Lumet's acclaimed film Dog Day Afternoon (1975). Almost 30 years later, Huyghe provides a platform for the heist's charismatic mastermind, John Wojtowicz, to relate his version of that infamous day in a reconstructed set of the bank.

Reviews

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
