For the 2014 Biennial, Victoria Fu will present a video installation in the Museum’s Lobby Gallery. Fu’s installations place appropriated stock media footage against abstracted backgrounds transferred to video from 16mm film. Often projected on a multi-layered surface, they operate in a visual arena that dissolves boundaries between projected light and image, representation and abstraction, narrative and form.
