Installation View of Laerke Lauta: Out of the Desert

Press Release

Danish artist Laerke Lauta will present a multi-channel video installation titled Out of the Desert. Set in Los Angeles, the project features a series of interactions between a man and a woman displayed on multiple screens in a manner that continues Lauta's interest in mapping "internal and external states of consciousness" and in capturing unresolved suspense. The curatorial notes explain, "Austere light, a lush palette, and evocative sound combine in Lauta's work to create liminal spaces that linger in memory, bringing together feelings of exhilaration, suspense, and danger."
