San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Program 6 Features Prof. Jeanne Liotta

i have no clue what this is, its red and shadowy and circular

“Jeanne Liotta’s tour de force projection performance Path of Totality spins the most ecstatic of the cinematic from flickering loops and household objects to create a luminous show and tell that transmutates base matter to pure energy. Path of Totality anchors a program of discovered sights, found sounds, and meditations on the fragility of life and the inner lives of the inanimate.

Reports from the world reinforce the urgency of our actions: forced, folded, and coaxed to motion.”

― San Francisco Cinematheque
