Pethidine

February 25th, 2010

Glassy-eyed beauties rolling around in the sheets. Drugs. Money. Religious iconography. No, this isn’t the lost film of Roman Polanski: it’s the amazing little short that artist Ryan F. Kennedy made for The Block’s Issue 20 launch party in New York. The film is called Pethidine, which any of the dolls captured by Kennedy could tell you is the scientific name for Demerol. Warning: watching this video may cause drowsiness and euphoria.
