"Hedda's House...continued stories from the woman on the couch: A Series of Installations by Gunilla Josephson"
2001-04-11 until 2001-05-27
Art Gallery of Mississauga
Mississauga, ON,
CA Canada
Beginning on April 11 at the Art Gallery of Mississauga, Gunilla Josephson
brings to life the world of Hedda through a series of installations that
incorporate video and sculpture. The show includes a sound piece developed in collaboration with musician
Eve Egoyan and all video performances are by Anna-Lena Johansson.
The film experience resembles a fun house attraction, a wild ride, the
itinerary of which has been calculated in advance but is unknown to the
spectator. By spurts and stops, twists and roller coaster plunges, we are
taken through a dark passage, alert and anxious, yet confident that we
shall return satisfied and unharmed. - Concepts in Film Theory, Dudley
Andrews
