Nuclear Trilogy + Carry Greenham Home

Further exploring the concerns of moving image work in The Secret Public exhibition, a series of screenings presenting works made by artists for whom the gathering and disseminating of information has critical and political imperatives.

Sandra Lahire's trilogy (Plutonium Blonde, Terminals, Uranium Hex) is a benchmark of personal filmmaking. Flickering through rapid-fire montage and turning the camera onto herself she finds disturbing metaphors for the body in nuclear power. Carry Greenham Home is closer to traditional documentary, detailing with heartfelt attention the lives and activities of the women involved in the peace camp. It bristles with song and combats the media's fragmented portrayal of events.
