Hey Sweet Pea
Hey Sweet Pea
Alee Peoples
»A strange sort of nothing is destroying everything.« Readings from The Neverending Story collide with motherly voice messages and visual moods from the suburbs of L.A. Using humorous artistic strategies, Hey Sweet Pea explores the ageing of parents, one’s own fragility (and that of film material) and locates collective sorrow in everyday life, when a visit to Walmart becomes the most exciting thing in life.
