Linger - Night Lights clocktower projection

Curated by Esther Hernandez and presented on the Daniels & Fisher Clocktower throughout the month of July as part of Night Lights, the program brings together an eclectic mix of filmmakers, animators, and interdisciplinary artists. Leaning toward the tactile, the uncanny, and at times the slightly grotesque, they ask viewers to interrupt their own momentum and turn a passing glance into an encounter.
