9/22/2022 - Here’s a great write-up on was this the face from The Season:
The Ereksons’ capable fusion of genres amplifies tensions related to intersectionality; and the facial portrait is something and nothing all at once. At one point the facial strips render and project on the screen, challenging the nature of the image over and over again, while sounds of the accordion frantically crescendo and rarely resolve. The result? The viewer anxiously anticipates what never comes: permanence . . .
