“Mesich’s deceptively simple installations bring to mind the everyday street scenes sweeping across the screens in Chantel Akerman’s 1993 installation, From The East, the mysterious elevator stopping between floors in Being John Malkovich, the daily rituals performed by Marina Abramovich in constructed rooms at Sean Kelly in 2002 and the hypnotized actors in Werner Herzog’s Heart of Glass.”
