Each piece is ugly, each setting random and cheap.
Our favorite of all the mess was the one we wouldn't really distinguish as art. Daniel R. Small’s project excavates the Cecil B. DeMille Ten Commandments set, from Guadalupe, California, that was burned down so nobody else could use it. Small than correlates how the film has created our societal view of what Egypt looked like and how it's perceived today. His example being the Luxor. It's a great way of saying how films and other media makes us see something from a view created by Hollywood and you could say it's still happening. Small's exhibit is a fake real Egypt exhibit.
Other than that...
