Artist's Description
The technology here hasn't advanced much beyond Edison's 1890's film loops. Instead of 35mm it is Super 8mm, or a large step backward. (But the "performers" then were fully clothed.) DVD's have made such businesses largely obsolete.

The late Gandolfini (1961-2013) will be sorely missed
