Recycled Visions: The Films of Salise Hughes
Oct 12, 2009
Visual artist Salise Hughes began experimenting with found film footage four years ago, creating her own unique process of digitally erasing and layering areas of the film image. Recycling is a major theme of her work, tearing apart existing 16 mm educational, and Hollywood genre films and rebuilding them, subverting the original material and giving the footage new meaning. Her films have screened in festivals around the globe including International Film Festival Rotterdam, Athens Greece International Film Festival, L’Alternativa-Independent de Barcelona, Seattle International Film Festival and the Ann Arbor Film Festival were she won an award for Technical Innovation in 2006. For this event composer Jason Staczek, and vocalists Alicia Dara and Mia Katerine Boyle will perform their scores live. This program was made possible by grants from Artist Trust, City of Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, and 4Culture.
