Peggy Ahwesh started making 8mm films in the 1970s, and claims herself as a heterogeneous artist who does not persist with one particular style. What may have remained consistent in Ahwesh’s career is her critical and experimental attitude toward the transitions of technology – Ahwesh critiques the “accelerating” technological progress by playing with them. This program will introduce Ahwesh’s ambitious works practiced over decades. (INOUE Emiko, NAKANISHI Kanako)
