Part of a series of works exploring early colour film processes, Austria’s Viktoria Schmid invites an alternative frame of reference to view America’s most overexposed city. The distinct buildings and their edges begin to lose their iconic sharpness, congruently everything that moves within and around the concrete begins to meld, adding a beguiling melange of the three distinct colours. The city remains fixed and immobile, yet teeming with vibrance and energy.

MODES 1
From the indoctrination of youth to increasing surveillance, populist ethno-nationalist and fascist ideologies continue to take root, yet dissent remains at the fore.
MODES 2
Intimate and unapologetic stories of women and queer lives are uncovered through provocative and deeply personal accounts that examine memory, identity, and dignity.
MODES 3
Moving through often uncharted (subaltern) territory, these works and their subjects carry the remnants of emotional and physical labour on their shoulders, both literally and figuratively.
