Overview
In her film, images from the 1980s television shows Dynasty and Dallas are juxtaposed with an unsettling acid-house soundtrack, creating a context for a renewed debate on offshore oil drilling.
The large area rugs based on keffiyeh scarves serve as seating arrangements to view the artist’s film,while the mirrored ceiling brings the means and politics of display into focus.
