Heather Rasmussen: four time-based media works
the Stark Bar at LACMA
February 28 - August 6, 2019
Los Angeles, CA
The work of Heather Rasmussen is currently on view on the screens at Stark Bar. For this presentation of four time-based media works, she created two new works made in 2018, Still life Buddha's hand on mirror (two views) and Movement in studio on teal (three views), while also adapting two existing works Legs and Legs Movement #1 (two views) (2017) and Scanning legs #2 (1 view) (2015) for three screens. In all of these works, Rasmussen turns the camera on herself and uses choreographed movements to create altered representations of her body using objects such as mirrors, plaster casts of her legs, or an evolving still life with the creature-like citrus fruit Buddha's hand.
