Each audience member was given a ticket at the door, good for a plate of either “rich” food (bread, French cheese and cranberries) or “poor” food (crackers with cheddar cheese in a can, candy powder and a nice chemical dessert) to get the mind ready for the movie…

In ‘Mythos Incorporated’, Eckart Hahn puts classical symbolism and mythic force to the test. He paints over the subjects with current day objects such as plastic bags, or masks them in ‘marketing colors’, such as the sickly McDonald’s yellow that I connect with cheeseburgers, childhood and constipation.
