Performance Pieces

Performance Pieces is a ten-minute comedy that presents a surreal take on the world of performance art. The film features F. Murray Abraham as Jack Narwhal, a performance artist who has literally cut himself into pieces for display in museums worldwide. He engages in a conversation with a workman setting up in the gallery, providing insight into his unusual bodiless existence.

Shot in high-definition video and transferred to 35mm film, Performance Pieces showcases the creative approach of Tom Abrams. This film not only highlights the absurdity of performance art but also reflects the artistic environment of the early 1990s. It serves as a unique artifact for those interested in the intersection of comedy and art, making it a noteworthy piece for collectors.
