Sunsets

Artist: Barbara Sternberg

ID : 47732

Description: 2002 [40 min. / excerpt: 3 min. 50 sec.]

Nine sunsets were recorded with a Sony MiniDV digital camera on nine successive evenings. The words of anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss are heard as voice-over in French (the language of its writing) and in English (in translation) as he attempts to describe in precise detail his viewing of a sunset: "If I could find a language in which to perpetuate those appearances, at once so unstable and so resistant to description..." In this tape translations are being rendered. Representations of Phenomenon and the experience of them are being attempted. Images are being created.
