Play Dead: Real Time is an intriguing piece that blurs the lines between documentary and art installation. The pacing is slow, almost meditative, which really allows you to soak in the atmosphere of the Gagosian Gallery as you watch this circus elephant. Gordon captures the essence of the elephant's obedience in a way that feels both raw and contemplative. There's something distinct about observing this creature in a stark, urban setting, which creates a juxtaposition that lingers with you. The film doesn’t rush, and that gives it a unique tone, almost like a living sculpture. It's challenging and thought-provoking, raising questions about art, performance, and the relationship between human and beast. Definitely a conversation starter for those who appreciate the avant-garde.
