Chasing the Dragon (1982)
Overview
a fictional autobiography in which a day from the artist’s life—filtered, edited, mediated, and performed by another actor—becomes the “ghost” of the person, a doubled identity that can never fully capture its subject. The work also conjures the spectral presence of a long-gone New York City, an uncanny body-double on the verge of austerity and collapse.
