"Black’s novella is a meditative retreat into the time/space of the pandemic. There is a strangeness of the months leading up to March 11th 2020, the way in which our memory of those immediate before times became subordinated to the pandemic temporal order, that Black captures."

In celebration of her birthday, May 15th, today we feature Barbara Hammer's Truant Photographs 1970-1979 🌺

Throughout the 1970s, filmmaker Barbara Hammer toured the United States, Africa, and Europe, making film after film about women and the le***an experience, both of which had seldom been seen by a woman, for women on screen before. She made a slew of now-legendary experimental films, including Sisters! (1973), Dyketactics (1974), Multiple Or**sm (1976), Sappho {1978), and Double Strength {1978), more or less inventing le***an cinema at a time when such material had largely been relegated to the pornographic imagination of male artists and filmmakers. During this prolific period, Hammer photographed her travels, her lovers, moments of community and kinship between her collaborators on set, private and public performances, friends, strangers. Through these photographs, Hammer explodes traditional notions of female sexuality by showing it for what it is: complex, messy, abstract, human.
