I think the whole exhibit is pretentious crap, with nothing of value to offer. I hope this so-called "artist" didn't quit his day job.

You don't have to hold back. You can tell me what you really think.

Photos of shoes? I mean, I just don't get modern art. What is the world coming to? This one - Sandal, 1998. I bet if you asked the people over there, they would feed you some line about how... I don't know, it's a commentary on urban isolation, and the loneliness of contemporary American life. But I mean, it's a shoe stuck in a door.

LINDSAY
I don't know, I think it's more than that. I think it's a mystery. An unfinished story.
