On Home and Haunting on the Outdoor Screen
With films by Hân Phạm, Luis Andrés Serrano, Adam Garnet Jones
August 11 – September 3, 2025
From August 11 to September 3, the Belkin's outdoor screen will show On Home and Haunting daily between 9 am and 9 pm, a selection of films curated by Ogheneofegor (Fegor) Obuwoma.
On Home and Haunting deals with the uncertainty of memory as a mode by which the artists conceive and construct their films. Using the language of "hauntology" (which deals with the ways social, cultural and political issues from the past haunt the present) and how it connects us to the unresolved state of capitalist violence across time and embedded into history, this program highlights three artists working within this realm of the indelible: Hân Phạm, Adam Garnet Jones and Luis Andrés Serrano.
Artist Talk: Hân Phạm and Luis Andrés Serrano
Thursday, August 14 at 6 pm
As part of On Home and Haunting, join us for a talk with two of the exhibiting artists, Hân Phạm and Luis Andrés Serrano, centred around their respective films, Once Upon a Time(2020) and Homebody (2024). The conversation will be moderated by curator Fegor Obuwoma. The artists' experimental film practices will be explored in regard to how they work between memory and video, translating lived experience and history into compelling visual work. In relation to the archive, the discussion will also touch on their works' connection to the exhibition theme of home and haunting.
