Art David Ford: White Like Me

  • Ford_large

David Ford's multimedia installation White Like Me incorporates the florid magic realism of his large-scale paintings, the incisive wit of his photography, and the unpredictability of his performance art. Against a backdrop of fantastical images of celebrity egomania/delusion — Tom Cruise gazing longingly at the night sky, for instance — and an architectural installation evoking the quaint vacuousness of mainstream American culture, Ford deploys a troop of "performers" acting as a militia. The piece's many contradictions combine to illustrate the plight of the skeptical patriot in political dismay.
