Peggy Ahwesh
In
film and video works that both unnerve and entertain, Peggy Ahwesh
merges the personal and the theatrical, the profane and the humane.
Questioning
gender, language and representation, Ahwesh integrates diverse media
(Super 8 and 16 mm film, Pixelvision), eclectic genres (documentary,
drama,
found footage), and cultural references ranging from the Unabomber
to Lara Croft. Pushing the viewer into risky territory, she challenges
conventional modes
with incisive wit and unexpected strategies.
