Art+Film: Juliet Carpenter

ACMI and Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA) present Carpenter’s Egolane (2022–24) and Dizzy (2022), two films that explore anxiety, time and female subjectivity.

In Dizzy, we encounter a woman lying on a bed in a strange room, repeatedly performing the hypnotic Epley manoeuvre, which is designed to relieve the symptoms of vertigo.

In Egolane, we follow another female protagonist on a mysterious journey in a driverless car across freeways, through open fields and into a forest at dusk.

Following the screenings, the artist will be joined by MUMA Senior Curator Melanie Oliver for a discussion about filmmaking, desire and the production of subjectivity on screen.
