Opera at the Seven Eleven

7 ELEVEN No Loitering By Order of the Police Department 89¢ 2/$4.50 TREWARDS Whole Pizza Weekends $7 $8

A nighttime video slowly pans across a 7-Eleven storefront, lingering on the illuminated sign, windows, bottled water, and sale posters. Grand opera from Compagnia d'Opera Italiana plays over the ordinary convenience-store scene, creating an absurdly dramatic contrast; the clip works as a reaction to treating a mundane place or situation as high art. The audio includes the recognizable aria “Questa o quella” from Rigoletto, with a possible French exclamation in the speech track.
