Liv Schulman: New Inflation presents a 63-minute film structured as a five-part play, drawing on Schulman's experience of Argentina's volatile post-2000s economy to treat inflation as both structure and atmosphere — less a condition than a constant, and at times a shared madness. Five symbolic figures — Myneeds, Rockbottom, Flaw, Wrong, and Best Intentions — circle the problem of value without ever landing on it, their conversations stalling, looping, and misfiring. Language slips; meaning refuses to hold still. Seen from New York's art world, where value is asserted through repetition and prices move faster than understanding, the distance collapses quickly.
