Anna Franceschini at Kunstverein Düsseldorf

Anna Franceschini at Kunstverein Düsseldorf

Isabelle Cornaro, Tamara Henderson, and, here, Anna Franceschini gathering a Tacita Dean like filmic fetish in Sturtevantian dumb sublimity. A dumbness that pervades, becoming transcendent. Franceschini's videos a formal comedy in the expectation of video - cinema condensing into Youtube's promise - that something need happen, and when the shirt finally gets its blowdry in the rose light of its theater, or the repetitive unclosed thought of shirts commotion, expecation ruptures laughable, sleeves flapping like punchlines.
