'Designs on Olympia', 5 min., c. 2008 by Sandra Hawkins.
Hawkins' video title references the painting 'A Modern Olympia' by Cezanne who is considered the father of modern painting and impressionism. Hawkins' analogue video records the dynamic of flickering hand-painted designs on film celluloid projected onto the nude upper torso of a woman turning in front of a canvas painting. The digital sound track comprises public domain sound effects that are edited to work with the rhythm of the image editing, the combination suggesting mystery.
