ZEENA PARK1NS - N1GHTMARE ALLEY (1993)

The dreams that are the flip side of dreams. Dark days, darker nights. The screen door is unlocked, knocking in the wind. The way the mind takes you to what you dread most. Nightmares are not the opposite of dreams, but corollary. They are places of vulnerability and fixation, embedded into the act of dreaming itself, including our drives, desires and cultural production. The line between nightmares and dreams is not only razor-thin, it's permeable. We dream of money, carnality. We dream of what we fear. There is someone standing in the shadows of the darkened room.

The incredible Ms. Parkins--and her marvelous electric harp--begin our walk through the nightmare alleys.
