Anti-Matter Alma Mater is a narrative installation by Matthew Thurber and Rebecca Bird created for his exhibition at the Fumetto Festival in Luzern this April, recreated and expanded at Southfirst Gallery in Brooklyn. It recounts the struggles of Charles Time Wilson and Funicula the crystal teen, two alumni tryingto return to the Carrot School of Time Travel in the correct time and space for their high school reunion. Trapped in a cable car high above the Himilaya, the forlorns students have no recourse but to engage in a discusion of memory and time. This dilemma is further elucidated by four educational performances on consecutive Sundays, in which the astrall bodies of Charles and Funicula reinact their miseducation and downfall.
