Big List: Take It to the Bank Edition

This is the most devastating artwork/performance I've seen in a long time. It eloquently captures something that, for me, is still beyond words.

Lost It, video still

The work is by Liz Magic Laser (isn't that a kick-ass name? Liz, I mean.) and she currently has an exhibit based on Brecht's Man Equals Man at the Derek Eller Gallery in NYC. LML originally staged the play at ATM vestibules inside banks throughout the city, then videotaped each actor's performance. The exhibit includes the video that cuts together those performances, some ephemera, and a theater stage (that was used for the opening night live performance of The Elephant Calf).
