Conversations with Contemporary Artists
OMER FAST
Tuesday, April 5 @ 6:30 pmOmer Fast (b. 1972, Jerusalem, Israel) works with film, video, and television footage to examine the complex interplay between personal and public histories. His videos mix sound and image into cinematic narratives that explore the postmodern fixation with misrepresentation in history and current events, as seen through both the media and the eye of the individual. In his installationGodville (2005), which is currently featured in the exhibition Found in Translation, Fast manipulates interviews with reenactors at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, to create a witty and profound commentary on the place of history in American life.
