Created by FIFTHhorse partners in crime Laine Rettmer and Deena Selenow, nice ass, Alice. is a Storybook Diorama Peep Show. By masking the storefront window of chashama's 37th street art space and creating peepholes through which to look, FIFTHhorse encourages passerby to submit to their inner voyeur and dare to sneak a peek.

 

Inspired by the 1960's drag group The Cockettes, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , and the subversive sexuality present in Walt Disney Animated Films, Laine Rettmer and Deena Selenow intend to explore the line between curiosity and perversity; the leap between innocence and taboo through a diorama peep show retelling of Alice's infamous (mis)adventures. Iconic, comical and slightly naughty, each peephole in the window display will give way to a skewed view of Wonderland through various use of the interior of the space. Playing with distance, perspective and the thrill of the unexpected, FIFTHhorse would like to cordially invite its audience of pedestrians to submit to their inner voyeur and to sneak a peek through our looking glass.
