Description
"Torossian's cinematic style draws attention to the most fundamental component of her work: the filmstrip, the celluloid on which images are inscribed to be projected. She modifies photographed images, transforming them into other objects; she juxtaposes them; and she sets them in motion beyond the initial filmed movement, thus creating a kind of rich collage that suggests another dimension to the moving images of which it is a part… This Spotlight compilation is highly recommended for academic fields dealing with women in art and cinema, as well as for art history and film studies."
