EXHIBITION

Miner’s first film piece, “Fly 08″, revisits Yoko Ono’s legendary “Fly” (1970) – an experimental, conceptual film and feminist consideration of the human body. Miner’s work enlists the components of the original, capturing on 16mm film a prone unclothed body as a landscape and backdrop for the explorations of a live insect. Fly 08 alternates close-ups and long shots capturing the behavior of the fly while patiently revealing the physiognomy of the somewhat exploited host, the artist himself. An original score by sound artist Richard Chartier accompanies the footage, which was recorded and edited by filmmaker Ron Toole.
