Beguiling cult favorite C. D. Rose is back with another foray into a
mysterious, entrancing universe. This time, Rose has trained his sights
on the art world in all its glamour, perversity, and ambition.
When visitors to a famous conceptual artist's installation begin disappearing, the aftershocks radiate outwards through twelve people who were involved in the project, launching them on a crazy-quilt trajectory that will end at one final, apocalyptic bacchanal.
Mixing illusion and reality, simulacra and replicants, sound artists and death artists, performers and filmmakers and theorists and journalists, We Live Here Now spins a dazzling web that conveys, with eerie precision, the sheer strangeness of what it is like to be alive today.
