   “There are known knowns… things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns… things we do not know we don’t know” - Don Rumsfeld

 

    Unknown Unknown(s) is a dialogue between film history and the concept of art as an activistic practice that reaches outside the cinematic screen/space. Iconic characters from classic films including: “Breathless,” “The Killing,” and “Sunset Boulevard” engage in a discourse between themselves, the spectator, and post-modern theory through various linguistic devices “imbedded” in the work that confront critical issues of global warming and other subjects. The crucial device in this process is the overt usage of subtitles that are at times similar, slightly altered, or completely different from the original dialogue.
