"Inspired by the German cult film "Kamikaze 1989" where surveillance monitors broadcast a laughing contest 24 hrs a day, and the laughing clubs of India where people laugh in unison for physical and spiritual healing. Handelman turns the front space of the gallery into a laughing lounge where the public can sit, drink and laugh till it hurts while surveillance cameras project the hysteria onto mirrored performers revolving like a human disco ball."
