A sparkling, plastic resetting of “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” which Chuquimamani-Condori dubbed over video of monster trucks flipping and crashing. As trucks careened and burst into flames, their gaze lingered on the sparks that fountained into the air and the confetti that fell softly like prefab snow. The juxtaposition seemed to aim at revealing a duality in the nature of violence: the feminine that lays in wait, the possibility of renewal on the other side of destruction. (Chris Kissel)
