Loretta Fahrenholz
-
Loretta Fahrenholz is a filmmaker, photographer, and curator. Her films merge facts and fiction, and make use of disjointed scripts that bring out the "ready-made" aspect of her subjects. With disaffectedness and detachment, the artist juxtaposes sequences that conflate performance and documentary. Employing a process that is primarily reactive and observational, Fahrenholz addresses questions of power, social pressures, economic necessities, and socio-political conditions. References to pop culture throughout her work, as well as questions relating to technology and the instability of human life, create significant discomfort for the viewer caught up in Fahrenholz’s utopian vision turned nightmare.
