This event has ended.

Foxy Production presents Cantor’s multi-channel video installation Be My Baby (1999), comprising three screens of appropriated images, including excerpts from independent American cinema and clips of space travel. In Be My Baby, Cantor’s ongoing and passionate exploration of tragedy and its transcendence is further expressed as a response to a series of lectures by Rudolf Steiner titled The Manifestations of Karma, which addresses accidents, death, illness, and synchronistic encounters. The installation is accompanied by a series of photographic works from 1997, each of which consists of grids of repeated 3x5 inch snapshot photographs that were shot by Cantor from a TV screen playing scenes of people kissing in old black-and-white Hollywood movies. These works move Cantor’s investigation of the portrayal women and love in classic cinema in to the space of photography.
