Winter

2013 - Film & Video (Film & Video)

Amie Siegel

year born: 1974
gender: female
nationality: American
home town: Chicago, Illinois

Winter is a film installation of multiple tenses—shot in the recent past, depicting an unknown future, unfolding (and changing) in the present of the exhibition. Shot in the white-washed homes of New Zealand architect Ian Athfield, including his own communal compound high above Wellington harbor, the film suggests various temporal and cultural conditions of instability, hinting at concerns of global warming and nuclear accidents, pushing at the boundaries of science fiction, stripped of narrative explication and causal explanation.


Amie Siegel works with the cinematic image—the precise production of filmic and still images—to produce artworks that address deeper social issues. She fakes and remakes, to purposefully tell lies as a vehicle to a greater truth. Through researching and implicitly critiquing the history of film, Seigel makes use of genre tropes, such as those found in science fiction, noir and the western. She also has a keen interest in politics, critical theory and a marked distrust of capitalism.
