In Dialogue is a series in which we invite practicing filmmakers to show their work alongside films from the VSW Collection, creating a dialogue among works that resonates with and reflects upon the approach of the filmmaker. Mary Helena Clark is an artist whose work uses the language of collage, often bringing together disparate subjects and styles that suggest an exterior logic or code, to explore dissociative states through cinema. This program features a selection of Clark’s short films presented with a surprising assortment of films from the VSW collection that includes Mort Ransen’s Falling From Ladders (1969) and Tao TV (1990) by Hyun-Suk Seo.
