Light Dissolves
Apr 5, 1977
Description:
Light Dissolves is a single-channel video performance by Nan Hoover in which the artist uses her body to experiment with light and shadow. The performance makes use of precise lighting control and a reflective surface to depict Hoover’s form in high-contrast silhouettes and feathered abstractions. A rolling hum plays throughout the eighteen-minute performance.Video documentation is available upon request.
