Since 1981, Condit’s videos have created heroines whose lives swing between beauty and the grotesque, innocence and cruelty, youth and fragility. Her work puts a subversive spin on the traditional mythology of women in film and the psychology of sexuality and violence. Exploring the dark side of female subjectivity, her “feminist fairy tales” focus on friendships, age, and the natural world.
CECELIA CONDIT: EARLY VIDEO WORKS displays her unique and experimental shot-on-video visions with four short films:
BENEATH THE SKIN (1981)
POSSIBLY IN MICHIGAN (1983)
NOT A JEALOUS BONE (1987)
SUBURBS OF EDEN (1996)
This is the first time all of her shot-on-video works have been released on official videocassette, only from LUNCHMEAT.
