Intro
Rita Ackermann / Harmony Korine
Paris: agnès b.
2011
Shadow Fux documents the first collaborative exhibition of New York based artist Rita Ackermann and Nashville based director Harmony Korine. Central to the practice of both is the creation of psychologically jarring figures, whose presence is further enhanced by fragmented narratives. Produced in a call and response method, the collaboration illustrates the importance of cutting to both artists’ works. Editing and splicing, Ackermann and Korine insert absurdist moments into narrative tropes, subverting plot lines and ultimately defying our expectations towards story telling.
