Mary Helena Clark
Mary Helena CLARK (1983, USA) makes films and videos in which she explores narrative figures of speech, the materiality of film and the painting technique trompe l'oeil. She aims to make trance-like, transparent films. Clark's work has been screened at International Film Festival Rotterdam, New York Film Festival, Wexner Art Center and the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.
