Exhibition: Liz Deschenes: Frames per Second (Silent)
On view through August 18, Potter Peristyle
Through her practice, Deschenes deconstructs conventional photographic and cinematic systems with a mixture of devotion and irreverence. None of the works on view were made with a camera. The presentation proposes a novel encounter between visitors’ embodied experiences and image-making processes, offering alternative ways of looking and thinking.
