A Spectacle of Ugliness is an exploration of how the freely accessible virtual space of review systems affects the representation and experience we make of real places, of how it is employed by a community as a re-affirmation of its own identity and a provocation of how limited and subjective the documentary can be. By taking the paradox of a spiritual place treated like any other commercial business, ASOU makes use of irony to create a surreal, suspended and fragmented universe in which judgments, images and ratings collide generating an unexpected conversation.
