Weary Fame 3m Clip

Weary Fame
by B. Lynch © 2009

A three minute clip from the 11 minute video.

A Hollywood star gives an exclusive interview concerning the recently discovered dismembered body found on her property. A hapless paparazzo has disappeared. Are the two connected?

B. Lynch re-examines the myth of the Goddess Diana and the Hunter Actaeon. Myth lasts because it tells us something true about the human spirit. The action oozes between the upscale restaurant setting and a mythical never-never land. Throughout it all the goddess is relentlessly narcissistic. The story only happened to her, never mind someone turned up dead.




The artist wrote, acted, filmed and scored the video. Masks and hand-drawn animation evoke the otherworldliness of the life of the rich and powerful.
