Tucker
visits Film Society with new selections from THE OBITUARY PROJECT, a
compendium of media that expands what we know as a daily narrative form
as it gives new life to the antiquated documentary practice of salvage
ethnography.
Tucker
has animated cyanotypes of downwinders; photographed fallen witness trees and
decaying civil rights era landmarks; recorded mobile phone footage of the last
public phone booths of Finland; written the text of a video out of paper clips,
a Norwegian symbol of nonviolent resistance; and retraced the path of protest
that closed the only nuclear power plant in Austria.
