The works of Chantal Akerman, Mounira Al Solh, Jayce Salloum, and Mónica Savirón. Formally, these works are organized around the possibilities of spoken or textual narration enlivening an otherwise minimal soundtrack. However together, they elaborate an idiosyncratic critique of the authority of the voiceover as material and political conquest, problematizing the narration of identity in politically fraught art markets, and restating the performative faculties of the camera in playfully inventive and wildly affecting ways.
