Circling the Image

« Circling the Image, Enns' new animation, uses Dewdney's original idea as a starting point, creating a hyper-fast work which plays with Galileo's idea that “Where the senses fail us, reason must step in.” Since our eyes cannot keep up with the speed of the imagery, our brain must fill in the data. ».

American Minor

2009 • 8 min

Through carefully created, lingering scenes, the film focuses on the external environment and internal state of a fourteen-year-old, upper-middle-class blonde girl whose world is defined through products, objects, and perpetual consumption. The film observes a single, protracted morning in the life of a picture-perfect American youth lost in the dehumanizing space that wealth, isolation, and fear can provide. By watching this American teen perform basic acts, from eating cereal, to watching television, to combing her hair, the film aims to reveal the complicated relationship between personal pleasure and politics, youth and sexuality, and class and suppression. American Minor premiered in Nine Lives at the Hammer Museum in 2009, curated by Ali Subotnick, and then went on to be featured at the Sundance Film Festival and Director’s Fortnight in Cannes, both 2009.

Unforgettable Memory

2009 • 9 min

To discuss the massacre of Chinese students who confronted power at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, in 1989, Liu Wei works from a realm that is at once intimate and transpersonal. The photograph of a man who stands alone facing a line of war tanks on the square, overrun by Chinese troops —one of the most iconic images of the 20th century— is the code for accessing memories blocked out by fear and censorship. The artist approaches passersby and questions them about the event. The question is repeatedly met with denial and evasion; the massacre is a taboo topic. There is no complicity, empathy, mourning, or grief; faced with the picture, everyone falls silent or runs away from the camera and their own memories.

"KINESTASIS" consists entirely of advertising still images. These are collaged and heavily image-processed to achieve a phantasmagoric effect.
