- Summary:
- "Premiered as a live performance at The Poetry Project in 2010, Am I From Brooklyn? betrays Lampert's interest in the spectacle of sentiment, especially at the mercy of consumer technology. Using the now obsolete but once popular home-movie format super-8 film, Lampert runs through a sequence of scenes from a life imagined had he grown up in three different ethnic neighborhoods in Brooklyn (as opposed to his hometown St. Louis). With the dry wit of a disaffected comic, Lampert narrates the faux significance of his boyhood bank, school, or favorite deli, all the while distancing the audience from the real facts of his upbringing."-- Electronic Arts Intermix website
