Leila Sujir: Luminous Stories
Peterborough: Art Gallery of Peterborough, 1999
ISBN 1-896809-15-4
Catalogue accompanying the exhibition of Leila Sujir’s videos and video installations at the Art Gallery of Peterborough, on view from February 28 to April 25, 1999. Each of the six works in the exhibition is contextualized with a description and analysis and an in-situ photograph or still of the work. Catalogue also includes the artist’s biography and a list of works. "During the last ten years, Leila Sujir has produced a mature body of video-based work that addresses a complex matrix of cultural issues with poetic acuity and visual sophistication. The six major works (two videos and four video installations) form a suite with a major theme on the flow of history and how it carries public events and private lives in its current... Sujir develops new structures for a hybrid narrative of autobiography, fiction, history, interviews, myth and documentation." (Quote taken from page 4 of catalogue.)
