Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
A whimsical and overwhelmingly creative exhibition of creating connection through curiosity. The beauty is in the details and the quiet observations of daily life, surroundings and social systems.
We should keep Marcel’s favorite question in our curiosity bank:
What’s that like?
Favorite bits include:
How to use a Dorito as a hanglider
“It's still a group of people, but it's an audience. It's not a community.” (A challenging nuance every content & engagement professional should consider.)
Marcel’s description of his grandmother: “She's always been a pretty tough cookie. Everything has a function with her. There's no one button that's there for decoration. She's just like a backhoe. But I will say you can really see her tender side when she's working with the bugs.”
“You know, my cousin fell asleep in a pocket, and that's why I don't like the saying, "Everything comes out in the wash," because sometimes it doesn't. Or sometimes it does, and they're just like a completely different person.”
Re the dog: “What a sad type of idiot.”
Marcel’s question to the filmmaker: “You know, Dean, have you ever thought that... your life might be a bit less lonely and a bit more integrated if you took the time to connect with somebody and not just make videos about them?”
