In Old World the pastoral landscape acts as the stage set for historical reenactment, collective memory, and vicarious projection into the past. Video documentation from Old World Wisconsin, an outdoor museum of rural history, is combined with appropriated film footage of human/animal interaction in the Midwest “pioneer” landscape. The savage wild is tamed by civilized culture, remembered as an idyllic past.
Exhibited at Institute of Visual Art, Milwaukee, WI (2004)
