An experimental work described as a unique form of Indigenous cinema opens Tuesday, June 7, at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University.
“Lore,” a 2019 film by Sky Hopinka, weaves together family, myth and trauma, according to a WSU news release. It continues through Aug. 6.
Images of friends and landscapes are cut, fragmented and reassembled on an overhead projector as the artist’s hands guide their shape and construction, and he narrates by voiceover.
Hopinka, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a descendant of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, teaches film and electronic arts at Bard College in New York state.
The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is on the Pullman campus in the Crimson Cube, on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB. Gallery hours are 1-4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
