Threading - Zuzka Kurtz & Liz Magic Laser, 2009
(3 min. excerpt from 17min. video)
 
"Threading" is a video component of My Inner Sole, a multimedia installation by Zuzka Kurtz. It was presented in its first incarnation at SlaughterhouseSpace in Healdsburg, California in 2009.

Shifting between hands sewing with a needle and then with a machine, the artist's voice recounts her family's narrative. Her stories oscillate from porous to particular. The hands seem to emerge from the viewer's point of view, implicating the onlooker in the narrative’s subjectivity.
