«Block Experiments in Cosmococa, Program in Progress: CC1 Trashiscapes»

Cosmococa 1: Trashiscape is filled with mattresses and pillows upon which to recline, and every viewer is encouraged to pick up one of the provided nail files, to primp while watching a slide installation featuring images of Luis Buñuel's face adorning the cover of the New York Times Magazine. The slides document a series of delicate designs moving over the Surrealist filmmaker's visage, as Neville D'Almeida manipulates fat lines of cocaine across the photograph, coaxing the stimulant to approximate painter's pigment.
