Soft Film
Sara Cwynar
Projected on video, Soft Film combines elements of Sara Cwynar's composite photography and her publications within the traditions of the experimental essay film and performance video. She is interested in how objects circulate via the Internet, in the lives they have now that they could not have lived before. In the film, the artist collects, arranges, and archives her eBay purchases of dated objects according to a logic based upon color, material, vintage, and use.

Red Film
Sara Cwynar
Is finding the perfect matt red lipstick something women should aspire to? Red Film reveals and critiques the persuasive capitalist machinations directed at women to conform and consume. A flurry of quotations from the world’s foremost thinkers address the color-coding of mass-produced consumer goods such as cosmetics, shoes and the red muscle car. All the while, Cwynar hangs upside down turning blue in the face from telling the story over and over again.
