Riley Harmon



Passengers is a series of video works by Riley Harmon, who has edited himself into scenes from Hollywood films, each of which is set in a car interior. Harmon's substitution is seamless, largely thanks to his own performance and also the skilled technical execution. Both comic and sexually charged, the silence of the exchanges accentuates and heightens each facial expression and nuance, suggesting meaning and understanding between the characters.
