David Fine
David Fine reimagines the performer as both subject and spectacle—a mock press-release video inspired by Fine’s long-running persona in low-budget horror cinema. Drawing on the exaggerated tropes of fame, fear, and self-mythology, the work plays with authenticity and artifice, turning the “B-movie” into a study of identity itself. Daugherty’s camera oscillates between irony and empathy, capturing the strange dignity of performance when the mask becomes the face.
