Curatorialist

Funny guy and finder of all things sports and Michael Mann, Hirp, sent me this first of a five-part video essay series on the latter. Watching it, it dawned on me that the only way to really describe Mann is through video, his contributions to film haven’t been so much in the intellectual but in the visual, you need the clips, and the accompanying score, to tell the story. What this essay does well is contextualize his work and describe exactly what his contribution is in the same kind of fine detail that Mann himself employs. The thoughts could be described faster, and in far less than 5 parts, but then how would you truly enjoy every. gory. detail?

Have fun. And when you’re ready for part two, here’s that.

Thanks Hirp!
