Um, well, uh…

Geeze…

This is awkward.

I don’t know where to start.

I’m going to quote Ryan Gosling, not because he is an authority on anything art or psychological, but because, well, what he says makes sense.

Regarding his character Lars, from Lars and the Real Girl, Gosling had this to say:

I want to make this clear from the onset: I have not seen Doug Aitken’s House; I have only read others’ accounts of it. A performance piece is a strange thing to write about then, I know. Alas, I have gained something of an insight, compliments to the myriads of reviews that discuss Aitken’s work. I guess you could say that, through various art blogs, I have gotten a healthy portion of the Aitken’s diet (I couldn’t resist).

Forgive me, dear reader, if you find this post a bit confusing. What we are about to embark on is a mind-numbing tour of Otherness. If you have to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water, do so now. I’m not stopping this tour bus until we reach our destination.
