China Tableware From American Beauty To The Table

Director Geoffrey Mann turned the famous quarrel scene from the 1999 Sam Mendes' film ‘American Beauty' into a video: the dialogue between the three characters climaxes with a sound clash of emotions. The cross-fire of the argument traverses the dinning table but where previously the inanimate everyday objects such as plates, cutlery, teapot etc were unable to express their character, the intensity of the conversation deforms their once static existence into objects of unseen familiarity.
