Part Three of the series examines the aesthetic manipulation of documentary truth. Through careful art direction, odd juxtapositions and dramatic rhythms, these works push objective testimony into a lyrical realm. The truth then becomes a meta-fiction, a truth reshaped as subjective wisdom. Emjay Wilson's Tell Me a Story, Sing Me a Song denies its portraits of teenagers any autonomy, instead rendering a jagged musicality that sings its own praises. Wilson's "real people" are but raw material in a work of rhapsodic gestures. As a form of mockery, Ilene Segalove's What Is Business? reduces a complicated issue to a series of hilarious one-liners. Traffickers from the business world, among them a clothing consultant, a cantor, a futures merchant, a steam engineer and a food industry executive, delight us with their keen observations about wealth and success. Mr. Science demonstrations, animated charts, and juvenile pronouncements about economics compound the interest in this satire of vacant culture. Segalove's bright use of color, composition and comedy bathes her interviews in a most jocular light. Bees and Thoroughbreds melds interviews with people of varied occupations, using the images and accoutrements of each to form an overlapping, but mythic bond. Matthew Geller juxtaposes the stories of Mark, a beekeeper, Bonnie, a private detective, and John, a horse-race reporter, drawing strange analogies and stranger coincidences. The poetic of Bees and Thoroughbreds produces truth as an afterglow, rather than quanta bound to specific images. Steve Seid
