shipfilm

Stephanie Barber US, 1998, 4', 16 mm

Barber’s shipfilm references imperialism in her account of a failed voyage using text and relatively static animations of a paper ship; its modest means suggests that imagined ‘voyages’ made with readily-available materials are preferable to grand conquests. (Fred Camper)
