Pierre Huyghe's 2014 film Untitled (Human Mask) combines images of a post-apocalyptic world (actual footage of deserted streets close to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of March 2011) with a haunting scene of a monkey working in an empty restaurant wearing a human mask and a wig. She's a girl! The flat, emotionless almost automaton state of the mask and the artificial glossy hair topped even with a child's bow, suggests that she, the monkey, might be a character from Japanese Noh theatre. But there's no music. Instead Huyghe's film evinces the terrifying possibility that our own, human, future might just be one of remnants and mimicry; that the deserted streets of Fukushima and the monkey's recognizable, alienating chimeric performance is all that might survive us. Untitled (Human Mask) presents a pluperfect world with extinction the endgame for a civilization that cared little for the present, dreaming only of a future that inevitably and necessarily could not include it." 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Huyghe, Pierre, $d 1962- $t Untitled (human mask) 600 10 $a Huyghe, Pierre, $d 1962- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Huyghe, Pierre, $d 1962- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00457315 650 0 $a Experimental films $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 7 $a Experimental films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918452 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a One work. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014910.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC463CEEEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
