Black Moon

Overview

Siegel uses film to investigate social issues, while also critiquing existing films. Black Moon is a reworked version of a film of the same name by French director Louis Malle. Siegel updates the film, setting the dream-like sequence amidst vacant monuments to the credit crisis; the abandoned subdivisions of the USA.

The work of Amie Siegel is an exploration into human survival in a post-apocalyptic world. In both her works, Black Moon and Winter, Siegel presents us with a kind of dystopia in which the silence is almost deafening. Characters roam empty landscapes, playing out possibilities of existence in open-ended narratives.

Black Moon is showing as part of The 5th Auckland Triennial.
