A 1983 video finds a new audience
In 2019 a 20-second song from Possibly in Michigan spread across TikTok, where thousands of users lip-synced to it.
Condit's video is a sung fairy tale set in a shopping mall, where two women turn on the man in an animal mask who has been following them. It's funny, eerie and violent by turns.
Clips had circulated online since around 2015. In the summer of 2019 a teenager posted the song to TikTok, and by July Frieze counted more than 23,000 videos using the sound. The Walker Art Center now credits that spread with bringing the film to a new audience.
