Titles by Peggy Ahwesh

The Color of Love

1994, 10 min, color, sound, 16 mm film on video

Ahwesh subjects an apparently found pornographic film to coloring, optical printing and general fragmentation; the source material threatens to virtually collapse under the beautiful violence of her filmic treatment. What emerges is a portrait at once nostalgic and horrible: the degraded image, locked in symbiotic relation with an image of degradation.

For: Doris Wishman. Synchronization: Keith Sanborn. Music: Astor Piazzolla. Thanks: Gabriel Miller, Tim Allen.
