Unfollow
Jill Pangallo’s latest multimedia, persona-based performance,”Unfollow,” picks up where “Happy Go Sad” (Wild Project, March 2012) left off and features the directorial expertise of writer/performer Mike Albo. Pangallo’s detailed, nuanced portraits oscillate between emotional and emotive polarities—funny and serious, happy and sad, tribute and observation. Universally familiar models and tropes—internet profiles, broadcast advertising, industrial videos andmainstream dance, amongst others—are referenced and subverted as Pangallo continues to explore the crossover between art and entertainment, as well the way humor functions within this interchange.
