Passage to the North is an enchanting mix of drama, humour, text and image. Weiner continues his explorations of word and context within a compelling, fractured, dramatic narrative about the meaning of travel. A video transfer from the original inter-negative film was supervised by the artist in 2005. Presented by Electronic Arts Intermix, New York.
