Hildegarde Duane

The end of the world does not have to be all doom and gloom. Hildegarde Duane finds the humorous side of a nuclear meltdown in this video where two people embrace in the knowledge of certain death. What better way to spend the final minute before the apocalypse? (LUX)

The Haircut is a work extending Duane's interest in the uncanny way an unfolding conversation could be banal on the surface yet fraught with emotion. In the video, Duane recreated verbatim an experience she had with a man who flirted then rejected her. Here Duane uses an actress to embody herself, externalising and looking back at a scenario with a gaze that is only partially her own. - MutualArt A man's ex-girlfriend gives him a haircut and discusses what went wrong between them. - Getty Research Institute
