Salvatore Garau: Intangible Artwork

Maybe you’re familiar with the story of the emperor’s new clothes, but have you come across the tale of the emperor’s new sculpture? The story goes like this: In 2021, an Italian artist sold a sculpture titled “Lo Sono” for over $18,000 – a steep selling price, but hardly their record price at auction. The catch is “Lo Sono” is an invisible sculpture. It does not exist in space.

Jonah Hill: Not Your Average Comedy Actor

From actor to director, Jonah Hill has firmly established himself as a versatile and driven Hollywood talent in front, and behind the camera. 

Arguably, one of Hollywood’s most hilarious actors started his career on screen unintentionally. American actor Dustin Hoffman got a taste of Hill’s talent when he witnessed Hill and his son Jake make prank calls pretending to be Tobey Maguire’s assistant.

Beau is Afraid: Ari Aster’s Comically Evil Nightmare

“You will walk many miles. Dozens will become hundreds. Hundreds will become thousands. Your adventures will continue for years and years….” 

-Angel, “Beau is Afraid” (Aster, 2023)

When I heard this line, it clicked for me. This description is how it felt to watch the surrealist horror comedy “Beau is Afraid.” What starts as one man’s journey becomes a descent into madness, misdirection, and mystery. ‘Beau is afraid of what?’ one might ask, and as the credits rolled, I concluded: it’s everything.
