The collaborative artistic team of Hillerbrand+Magsamen debut a new video, Shelter in Place, in conversation with the Covid19 pandemic and current political and social times, along with five other video art shorts that span the past decade with all its familial joys and discontents. Hillerbrand+Magsamen are the photographers and the photographed -- their home is the canvas, their actions are the content, and their family is the subject. They are interested in how their relationships are constantly changing as they grow older. They draw upon the Fluxus practice of incorporating humor, performance, video, and everyday objects to create a conversation around family dynamics, suburban life, and American consumer excess.


This program is made possible with funding from Humanities Texas and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the federal CARES Act.

What appears to be a typical family dinner becomes surreal as a cloud of fog engulfs and distorts the everyday event and fluctuates between memory, reality and dream worlds through the metaphor of fog and home.
