Most of the scenes run five minutes or more, composed in long takes that follow a restless array of characters through apartments and corridors, alleys and courtyards, train stations and industrial wastelands—but the kinetic cinematography (by Fan Chao) freezes into tense, painterly tableaux of bitter confrontations pregnant with violence.

The images of the fires are a cross between "Mad Max" and "On the Beach": thousands driven onto beaches in a dull orange haze, crowded tableaux of people and animals almost medieval in their strange muteness — half-Bruegel, half-Bosch, ringed by fire, survivors' faces hidden behind masks and swimming goggles.

La chambre d'écho résonnant particulièrement fort sur les réseaux sociaux, il y a fort à parier que les posts commentant avec une infinie patience les biais de raisonnement des individus qui consignent les apparitions de ptérosaures dans des tableaux Excel... ne seront jamais lus par ceux à qui ils s'adressent.

This painting (among others in the show) recalls the work of Martin Johnson Heade, the nineteenth-century American painter whose delightfully contrived tableaux typically include closely observed examples of flowers and birds in the extreme foreground, set against a panorama of the species' native habitat — often, tropical jungles — with no sign of civilization in sight.

Tod's presentation, held last week in a pavilion set up over the tennis court at the Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan, involved a series of tableaux vivants reminiscent of the images of elegant locals, mainly nobles, photographed for "Italian Portraits," a volume commissioned some years ago by Diego della Valle, chairman and owner of Tod's Group.

Using both emblematic designs (Elsa Schiaparelli's iconic shoe hat, say, or a famous sheath dress designed by the seminal 20th-century dressmaker Madeleine Vionnet) and ordinary suits from his own wardrobe, installed in ghostly tableaux, Mr. Saillard explores an element of costume ignored by most installations devoted to the subject: that is, the bodies that once inhabited the clothes.

In his nighttime tableaux of bar and party store exteriors (the "party store" being Detroit's answer to the bodega), makeshift basketball hoops on residential streets, and unmarked buildings, Jordano beautifully handles another truth about Detroit, one that I, as a much less professional photographer, continue to find challenging: it is hard to get a wide enough angle to capture the essence of Detroit.

The work "in Pursuit of Venus [infected]" (2015–2017) is a looping 64-minute installation that casts a variety of actors and Indigenous Pacific cultural practitioners — some chanting or dancing, others relaxing, painting, studying, or arguing — in 70 tableaux that may or may not have taken place between European explorers and peoples in Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Tonga, Palau, and elsewhere across Oceania.

"We're not that different," ventured Rudolph, who has been a longtime fan of Beecroft's work, which has recently included a pair of fashionable tableaux — one a nod to the craftsmanship of Tod's leather goods with Karlie Kloss lying on a table swathed in saddle-covered pelts, the other a mythical reimagining of a refugee camp, with more than a thousand street-casted models, for Yeezy by Kanye West.

The groupings of mummies bear a relationship to such regional Italian artistic traditions as the terra cotta tableaux, found mostly in northern Italy, that illustrate the life of Christ, or the Misteri of Trapani, a city on Sicily's northwestern coast, comprised of life-size wood-and-fabric sculptures recounting the Passion, which are carried by teams of men, 20-strong each, in the city's annual Good Friday procession.

Kudzanai Chiurai's We Live in Silence (2017) is a series of tableaux vivants reflecting on Zimbabwe's complicated relationships to American politics, Christian biblical stories, and African history; Zina Saro-Wiwa's Table Manners (2014–19) depicts eight people on eight screens eating homemade Nigerian meals, offering commentary on the effect of Big Oil on Nigeria's agriculture; and Mikhael Subotzky's video installation WYE (2016), filmed on a nature preserve, follows three characters navigating post-Apartheid South Africa.

Seven dancers — men and women alike dressed in black sports bras and hyper-color Lycra tights, later donning T-shirts printed with their own faces — perform movements in that pastiche way McNamara has become known for; they form tableaux, they line up like a blasé chorus line, they move in canon, they prance, they body-roll, they make staccato angular arm gesticulations, they smack their hips with their fists like video clip backup dancers, and they take a break to drink water from water bottles in a severely formalized manner.

Mine prominently includes, alongside the pieces I've already mentioned, works by Edgar Degas ("Like Life" might justly be picketed were it lacking "The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer," modelled circa 1880 and cast in 1922), Augustus Saint-Gaudens (poignant busts in white marble and in pigmented wax, made in the mid-eighteen-nineties to memorialize the deceased young wife of a patron), Auguste Rodin (the uncanny glass "Mask of Hanako," depicting the face of a Japanese actress, from 1911), and Duane Hanson (from 1969-70 and 1984, hyperrealistic tableaux, starring a frowsy working-class housewife and a weary housepainter, that curiously become ever more affecting as their period looks recede in time).
