- And Finally…
2007 LAFVA-funded artist Marine Hugonnier explores the 'Politics of Vision' in film 'Trilogy' at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 'Trilogy', a series of Super 16mm films transferred to DVD that explores the ways in which images of the landscape influence the observer's experience of it, and conversely, how history of ideology can shape the perception of a landscape.
Filmed on three continents over the past five years, Hugonnier's films raise questions about the process of viewing and engage what the artist refers to as the “politics of vision.” On view until 22 July, Hugonnier's 'Trilogy' is the third installment of Live Cinema, an exhibition series exploring the vast production of single-channel video and film work by a diverse group of local, national and international artists in the Museum's Film and Video Gallery.
