Esther and Carmen vaguely from where?
By resting and immersing ourselves with the text nostalgia performs, we are questioning and framing and becoming. By immersing ourselves with memories of what we see to be two ambassadors of escapism, we are nudging memories we don't know how to trace.
As we have never seen a film of Esther Williams
As we have never seen a film of Carmen Miranda
As we vaguely recall images of water fountains and bananas
As we vaguely enter a state of being what we think is a Hawaiian island.... .
GilbertandGrape set out to explore the meeting points and differences in their collaboration.
