Gino De Dominicis's Maniacal Laugh

The image is on it's side, but it's a black and white photograph of the Virgin Mary and the primary reason behind shooting the video was to capture a loop of the maniacally seductive laugh that engulfs this dark room comprised of several of Gino De Dominicis works at PS1.
As much as I hate to admit it, I really enjoyed Borre Saethre's three room installation that culminates with a boxed unicorn. I hate to admit this, because I think that the work employs a lot of gimmicks (in the form of flashing lights, monitors and beeps), I get the sense that it's void of any meaning and it's primarily ear and eye candy. That said, I appreciate the collapse of modernist form with futuristic materials to present a seductive series of rooms. The combination of sound and small monitors in the first room present a hypnotic rhythm in an otherwise minimal room, the second room functions as a busy portal into the third room, again relatively minimal, but showcasing a unicorn laying in its side. The unicorn is beautifully executed with a gaze that engages the viewer.
In the end, I think that the real reason I enjoyed this work so much and the element that will most likely stick with me was the response of the small children that were in the room at various points when I was there. The awe and surprise of seeing the unicorn and wondering what to make of the frozen creature. Then came the explanation from a slightly older child, perhaps 6 or 7 years old - that the unicorn is dead, due to the heat of the sun....
