Trivia
Tom Tykwer’s 2009 film The International (starring Clive Owen, Naomi Watts and Armin Mueller-Stahl in leading roles) featured a detailed life-size replica of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum's interior space, designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In the replica of the exhibition rooms was presented a retrospective of Julian Rosefeldt, primarily consisting of film installations. The famous climax of Tykwer's film is a dramatic shootout within the museum where many of Rosefeldt's installations are riddled with bullets.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
