Special screening of Galen Pehrson’s The Caged Pillows, June 1 at MAMA Gallery

THE CAGED PILLOWS is an 8 minute long hand drawn animation piece by Galen Pehrson, specially commissioned for RUINS and featured as the cover story on Issue 4 of FOUNDATIONS. The otherworldly narrative stars Jena Malone, Rose McGowan, Gemma Ward and James Franco. Interwoven with Pehrson's compelling imagery is a soundtrack featuring music by Daft Punk, Future Islands, Death Grips, and Devendra Banhart. Shattering the mold of traditional formats, THE CAGED PILLOWS is a pioneering medium that speaks to a highly interactive world where media and human contact are opposing forces.
