2. Fame
A compact, collage-like collection of transcribed conversations, anecdotes, and brief portraits of celebrities and socialites from the late 1960s–1970s, presented in a deadpan, fragmentary style that highlights the banality, absurdity, glamour, and contradictions of public life; through unadorned quotes and repetitive exchanges it exposes how fame is constructed, commodified, and consumed rather than offering a conventional narrative.
