White Cassandra
Barbara Hammer
1968, 4:08 min, color, silent, Super 8mm film on HD video

"Aerial views of Los Angeles rooftops and a swimming pool surrounded by tan sunbathers contrast starkly with the Wheeler Ranch, hippie free land of shacks and barren landscape in Sonoma County.

1986, 5:29 min, color, sound

"In July I hid several credit cards in a planter on the roof of the building where I live. I vowed to abstain. But in ten days I was desperate." So writes Barr in With Special Thanks, his wry commentary on American consumer culture. In this comic homage to consumerism, the camera pans over a...
