Date
2009
Description

The One Hour Laugh is a 60 minute video work that depicts Brown Council enacting a routine of endurance laughter. Over the course of the hour their laughter travels between tedium to strain, to genuine hilarity, to humiliation. Brown Council’s unsettling laughter parodies the austerity of performance art documentation through overt theatricality and seemingly senseless enjoyment.
