An experimental comedy, Greg Barth‘s Fortunes uses abstract satire to deconstructs quotidian routine. Unless you’re Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, or some other fictional character that is in a perpetual state of adventure, the cycle of everyday living can (and will) get to you. Barth, an award winning artist known for his work Passion Pit, directs a quirky short that undermines the fragile concept of normalcy and structure.
“[Fortunes] portrays a collection of domestic rituals, highlighting the monotony of repetitive daily routines.
Its a study on perception, ultimately demonstrating how doing something long enough can drive you crazy.”
– Greg Barth.
