The Exiles
Station to Station
description
Exploring the politics of representation, Station to Station is comprised of abstracted film stills created through the productive misuse of technology. Sourced from Kent Mackenzie’s film, The Exiles (1961), These images are made by scanning the film while it is being played on a portable digital video player: turning moving images into still ones. The documentary style film follows a small group of Indigenous people living in Los Angeles. Over a twelve-hour period, the film records their candid discussions of home, community, and future.
again and again then now and forever, from (And) Other Echoes
description
Concerned with the process of image production and dealing directly with materiality, the works in (And) Other Echoes function at the threshold of visibility. Continuing the an examination into technological mediation and its capture of cultural and political intervals, the work takes Kent McKenzie's 1961 film The Exiles as a source material. The Exiles documents one night in the lives of young Indigenous men and women living in Los Angeles in the late 1950s.
