14 DAYS IN AFRICA: A video & text installation by Samuel Avery
Dec 7th 2011
Avery’s most recent documentary film project took him across the ocean into Sub-Saharan Africa where he focused his lens on a fellow student filmmaker, a Burundian refugee named Rheli Mugisha. In this narrative-nonfiction installation Mr. Avery and his crew reveal their misconceptions around ‘documenting’ the life of their African protagonist and embark on a very reflexive journey that addresses the (ir)responsibility of a being a filmmaker and the inevitable subjective separation between maker and subject.
