When the lights go out on Sleeping Giant, you can feel for a brief moment a question running through the audience: “Huh? That’s the end??” Amid the flurry of fascinating images, Duford and Goldhuber don’t often enough help us to understand and—more importantly, feel—what’s happening while it happens. And, because the living people are shown primarily as stereotypes, they add color, but not full three-dimensionality to the artwork world they live in.
