Wow! I don't know how to feel about this. It's shocking really. So many people have capitalized on 9/11 including "our" government and so much bad "art" has been created about this event. The stark reality of seeing this scene depicted in a flipbook with no commentary, just a "take it or leave it" attitude, I think it's brilliant. To me a flipbook is fun and it's unsettling to see this format used to depict this, probably the biggest event of our lifetimes (so far *insert worried face here*). I have a hard time separating the way I feel about this flipbook as a work of art, and my feelings about the fact that it exists at all. I'm sorry, I don't know if I am making sense. I don't want to say this makes me feel the way I felt following the events of September 11th; that would be trivializing those events. And yet depicting them in this way does exactly that, doesn't it? Doesn't this at least open the suggestion that these events are being trivialized? This flipbook creates a small version of a very large truth for me. I don't want to say microcosm, but yes, it really is that. The shock, the sense of conspiracy, of unknown motives, the crass and disgusting way that this real event was used as a manipulative tool, these are reflected for me in this flipbook and I think your work is incredibly stimulating and thought-provoking and I admire the fact that you are willing to create such a really horrific item in such a casual way.
