Hester Scheurwater Videoworks: Volume 1

Collection: Single Artist Compilations

Tags: Body, Feminism, Performance, Videoworks

These five short videos examine the relationship between the female body and the camera’s gaze.

“In Scheurwater’s universe, there is hardly any room left for human warmth. The only living being that evokes a sense of pity is a dog. And the only hope that remains is the camera itself, feverishly searching for compassion in the remnants of decay.”

-- Stan van Herpen
