SYNOPSIS
Evidentiary Bodies is Barbara HAMMER¡¯s posthumous film. The threechannel video shows Barbara HAMMER¡¯s naked performance. Images like cells, fungus or microorganisms are projected on her elderly body. Fearful and wonderful at the same time, these images seem like a disassembled and dissolved body after death or its process. Also, this documentary film is a montage, or homage, to images of her movies, including Double Strength (1978) and Santus (1990). It is HAMMER¡¯s way to reveal everything, including her body, lesbian sexuality and X-ray images, and not in ways typically targeted to women. [KWON Eunhye]
