Highlighting Stanislav’s sustained work in mirrored sculpture, the
film shows a dramatic explosion of mirrored obelisks on the Bonneville
Salt Flats in Utah. This film also provides valuable context for the
artist’s long-standing engagement with natural history. For a moment
the obelisks line in harmony with the horizon line before they are
obliterated into Hollywood fantasy, dialing into the present: the
decline of the American Empire, complicit in its history of manifest
destiny with the resulting disruption of nature. Andréa Stanislav (b.
1968, Chicago) is based in New York City, USA, and works in St.
Petersburg RU and Bloomington, IN, USA. Her hybrid practice spans
sculpture, video, multimedia installation, and public art. She
received an MFA from Alfred University, New York in 1997; and a BFA
from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1990. Share This:
