“cinema red” exhibition @pfunctionary
through archived films, light, and spatial design, Cinema Red invites audiences to move through red as a symbol of love and resistance through whimsy + memory. The exhibition takes color as both a sensorial experience and a conceptual anchor between the work of Tiff Tran and myself.
Cinema Red asks: Where do we locate ourselves within the primary color, red?
Cinema Red is presented by Public Functionary, in partnership with the artists and collectives behind @cinefilmufest and Open Screen, to explore the intersection of contemporary art and cinema.
