There's a great big story about Mr. Nobody in the Globe today! Gary Michael Dault did a good job filling in the back story on the enigmatic little guy, and there's some nice quotes from Tanya Read, Mr. Nobody's Frankenstein-like creator.[Mr. Nobody's appeal] has a lot to do with his existential determination, in the way he just keeps going, persisting in the face of futility.
Last spring I wrote a short exhibition essay for Tanya Read's show at Truck Gallery in Calgary. Here's a quote: Recently, Mr. Nobody has acquired an Ignatz mouse, a yin for his yang, a
perfect foil. In the film Juggernaut, a monstrous ball appears with dots that
might be eyes, mouth, snout or belly but never quite resolving into form,
an indominatable abstraction that rolls over Mr. Nobody and leaves him flat and
blinking.
You can watch Juggernaut online here at the Mr. Nobody website.
NB: I also made a wee post on Mr. Nobody here back in May.
Oh my god, Mr. Nobody's head is expanding at an alarming rate! thanks for the support! All the best to everyone in 2005.
cheers, tanya
