Ain Gordon: Not What Happened

This contrapuntal duet for two people who can’t meet: the historical re-enactor and the figure they re-enact questions the politics of historical re-enactment. A tour guide in period costume working at a deficit-ridden historic site warily greets her tourists (the audience). Her doppelganger, dressed identically, is the actual woman living her silent life. Rural documentary artist Forrest Holzpafel will create/source projected images of farming ruins and empty land.
