- Abstract
Appearing near the end of Mann's great novel of irony and isolation, Joachim's last days are described as oddly routine: medical staff come and go, fellow patients wax poetic, family members putter aimlessly. In Genesis Belanger's exhibition I Through the Eye of a Needle i , curated by Amy Smith-Stewart, death is an expected, albeit uninvited, guest, at home in the affluent domiciles orchestrated here through tableaux and mise-en-scène. Vanitas, meant to remind the viewer of the transience of life's pleasures, relied on a Protestant sense of morality, while Belanger's tableaux recall a sense of detached ritual.
