Leo Gabin – Tallahassee

Posted by Fabio 21 November 2013

Tallahassee is centered around Leo Gabin’s first feature film A Crackup At The Race Riots, based on the Harmony Korine novel of the same title. Composed entirely from appropriated, user generated found footage, there is no place for plot, linear narrative, character development, or scene setting in Leo Gabin’s video work. What we do see is a nearly 40 minutes long story made up of compelling, disparate images, uploaded online by unknown amateurs, joined together to form a portrait or time capsule of a place called Florida. The Sunshine State in southeastern USA still remains a paradise for some and the land of lost dreams for others, having been suffering hard from the economic collapse. For Leo Gabin, Florida represents both a person and a place, an idea and a dream.
