Michelle Handelman, Folly & Error, 2005 Folly & Error, part of Handelman’s project This Delicate Monster, is a multi-media pop fable inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s The Flower of Evil, a book of poems as succulent and darkly suave as 19th-century Paris and Baudelaire himself. Folly & Error are the twins Baudelaire refers to in his poems – youth and age, pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow – these twins are the great equation of life caught in an endless landscape of effort. Handelman transposes the Flowers of Evil into a contemporary pop landscape, creating a haunting and hallucinatory fragmented narrative that can best be described as a cross between a music video, a pagan ritual and a fashion shoot gone terribly wrong.
