Severance; Ben Stiller's Allegory of the Cave
by Olivia Eiler

Analyzes Severance's critiques on labor exploitation under capitalism through the framework of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave."

A poem made from cut out words from magazines, overlaid on a photo of a shipwreck on the sea floor and ancient cave paintings. The poem reads:
"Did you read the book?
all its wonders
a human tide, made time
sandy world endlessly
reshaped by ocean
stain of a flood mark
grave robbing -
place of prayer
devotional thought
stand still."
And the title, "On Literature," is at the bottom of the page.
