New work by Anita Holtsclaw

The work of Anita Holtsclaw seeks to critically examine and creatively explore cinematic constructions of femininity, which are sometimes assumed to be no longer active, within a post-filmic culture. The constructed performance of gendered identity and narrative found within screen-based media is re-performed by the artist in The Grove.

Works presented attempt to analyse the designing and writing of the self through the language and foundational visual signifiers of film. The Grove explores how the various codes of film and screen-based practices work to establish a range of narratives and visual languages that work to make up fictional representations.
