July Days

Overview

"July Days" is a mixed media installation / moving image work that revolves around a single, blurry image taken around 1917. Purportedly representing the Red Army carrying Malevich’s ‘Black Square’, the photo allows for varying narratives, interpretations and hopes. Mingling archival footage with digital renders, "July Days" brings together a chorus of voices that explore what such a photo can represent in an age of fake news and virality. In the process, "July Days" invites its viewers along a hopeful and intimate reading of (art) history that celebrates the potential of radical imagination.
