Amongst the ranging cattle frenzy of tourism and Christmas fueled buying binges,
THROWHITE struck an absurdist chord in the heart of capitalism -
Rockefeller Center Pre-Christmas Frenzy Street Cut (RCPCFSC) !
25 second excerpt of full video
While Zefrey posed as a shopper with a bag full of freshly boughts, Genevieve laid in wait for
him with a glistening pair of scissors in her hand, staring out into space, bidding her time....
As Zefrey attempted to cross the north curb of 49th street, catastrophe struck!
He falls face down on the cold concrete amongst children and parents hurrying between
the Rockefeller ice and 5th avenue. In a flash Genevieve is on top of Zefrey! Fists full of
his hair in her hand, she begins hacking away with orange handled scissors whilst he writhes
in panic amongst the crowd. Much to the shock and disgust of the onlookers, Genevieve begins
stuffing his hair in her mouth and chewing it.
All hail the Johnny!
Security is on her in seconds, pulling her off of his helpless frame stretched out
with arms overhead. And in a twist and duck move that would make a snake jealous,
she gives the goon the slip and is lost in the thicket of pea coats and tinsel times.
Patting the back of his head to make sure he hasn’t been scalped clean, Zefrey makes his
shaky way down the crowded street, looking cautiously over his shoulder,
jittery that she may strike again....
