A screening with
Emily Wardill

In reference to Identical, her current solo exhibition at KW, Emily Wardill presents a film program at Babylon, together with the exhibition’s curator Mason Leaver-Yap. The program includes short films that conjure, question and distort representations of the human body on screen, and are presented together in the logic of the mixtape. The screening traces the migration of images – from colonial film archives to Hollywood cinema, through to well-known formats such as the home movie and the amateur sex tape. Both artist and curator join the event in person, for a post-screening Q&A. The duration of the event is approximately 110 minutes.
