LORI HERSBERGER,
"How Can You Kill Me? (I'm Already Dead)", Swiss
Institute, 495 Broadway, near Broome Street, (212) 925-2035
(through March 9). On three big screens, this Swiss artist
projects montages of Hollywood movie clips, mostly moments
of suspense or climatic violence from disaster films, Westerns,
police thrillers and war movies. Through abrupt cutting and
repetition of loud soundtracks as well as imagery, Mr. Hersberger
creates an unnerving delirium while raising questions about
our appetite for stories of death and apocalyptic destruction.
