vorgestellt: zoe beloff

die new yorker künstlerin spricht über apparate und medien zur 
erzeugung von illusionen.

Zoe Beloff is a New York-based artist fascinated by phantoms, by 
images that, "are not there", and by the 19th century mediums whose 
materialization séances conjured up unconscious desires, in the most 
theatrical fashion. Though lacking psychic abilities she confesses to 
relying on cinematic illusionism or the cinematic "medium". Zoe 
Beloff works with techniques like stereoscopic imagery and dioramas 
that have largely been abandoned since the invention of the cinema, 
but also with with film, live 3-D projection performance, interactive 
cinema on CD-ROM and video installation. She is currently working on 
a series of projects under the title of "A Hundred Years of Hysteria" 
which investigate the history of hysteria in relation to performance, 
cinema and art.

the new york artist discusses machines and media as generators of illusion.
