Have You Seen This Man?

NEW DOCS

Got the urge to shop, but don’t know what to get? How about buying a cracker (a real steal for 15 cents)? In this hilarious film, artist Geoff Lupo papers the town with his homemade ads—complete with tear-away phone number tabs—for everyday bric-a-brac: a toothpick, the cap of a pen, or a pill. His bizarre sales pitches and the responses he receives call attention to “the arbitrariness of value” and the absurd rituals of daily business transactions.  TW
