Movie

Cornered

An installation utilizing two adjoining screens mounted in a corner. On the opposing sides, groups of people protest for and against desegregation during the 1965 Boston riots, the looped news footage slowed to match the tempo of Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings,” the only sound.
