I-Be Area

Dazzling and raucous, Ryan Trecartin s first feature-length video takes cues from chat rooms, social networking web sites, YouTube, John Waters, and Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and then turns them upside down and inside out to create an entirely singular video genre. In I-Be AREA Trecartin intertwines the stories of an incredible ensemble cast to follow a day in the life of I-BE II, the rebellious clone of I-BE (played by Trecartin). (Wexner Center of the Arts)
