In the spirit of proto-cinematic devices like magic lanterns and zoetropes, Haunted Screensfeatures artwork that employs a variety of techniques—from the hand-drawn to pixel disintegration—to present a delirium of actual and implied movement. The phantasmagorias, silhouettes, and projections in this exhibition borrow from mysticism and folklore, the legacy of the African slave trade, and urban specters to conjure historical and magical apparitions that inhabit the contemporary mind.
Curated by Sandra Q. Firmin and Carolyn Tennant, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center Media Arts Director.
