DAS INSTITUT in ‘No Drink No Talk Just Beautiful’ at On Stellar Rays

This arrestingly odd triptych by artist collaborators DAS INSTITUT presents a caricatured woman’s face in one image while giving the subterfuge away in the other two photos. Holding a donut decorated in the same pattern as her shirt, the model fixes us with an unnerving stare as if to question what part we play in making meaning from images. (At the Lower East Side’s On Stellar Rays through August 1st.)

DAS INSTITUT, When You See Me Again It Won’t Be Me (Green), 3 pigment prints, 19 ¼ x 42 ½ inches, 2014.
