Peggy and Fred in Kansas (1987)

Peggy and Fred in Kansas is one of the earliest installments in Thorntons Peggy and Fred in Hell series Thornton represents the outside world with archival footage of rugged terrain and industrial wastelands We are introduced to the postapocalyptic room where the children act and reenact a disjointed play on media narratives Though the seemingly isolated room is furnished with typically domestic objects in the hands of the children raised on television these items appear as props for the purpose of performing adult affectation Peggy and Fred channel their isolation like open radios as if boredom were the frequency from which media is transmitted Description from EAI
