Carrie Mae Weems Instagram – Out now, ‘The Shape of Things’—an unflinching look at the circus-like quality of contemporary American political life. “The Shape of Things” centers on a seven-part film projected onto a Cyclorama—a panoramic-style cylindrical screen that dates to the 19th century—that addresses the turmoil of current events in the United States and the “long march forward. Drawing on news and TV footage from the civil rights era to today, the films examine race and civil unrest in America’s past and present, combining documentary directness with poetic rhythm to articulate the dangerous mounting resistance to the “browning of America.”
Foreword by Tom Eccles. Text by Thomas Lax, Huey Copeland. Interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
