Genealogies 2016

Directed by Amie Siegel

Genealogies weaves an associative tissue of links and references by combining novels, films, images, advertising and soundtrack from multiple sources into a baroque invocation of image and artwork provenance, remake and copy. The video traces the sculptural, gendered iconography of architecture and the female body, querying how these are visualised in cinema, and harnessed by advertising and music videos [Thomas Dane Gallery].
