invocation of the memory of mary turner, lynched on may 19, 1918 (2024) Gratuits en Français, streaming VF invocation of the memory of mary turner, lynched on may 19, 1918 A stasis work invoking the memory of the lynching of Mary Turner, a young, pregnant African American woman in South Georgia in 1918. Publicly demanding justice following the murder of her husband, Turner was kidnapped by a mob, hung up in a tree, set on fire, her child cut out and killed, and shot hundreds of times before being buried on-site. Returning to the origins of cinema, filmed on the exact date and time of Turner’s lynching 105-years earlier, # 3 uses static form, time, light, shadow, and landscape as antagonist and movement as metaphor to not only invoke the memory of Mary Turner, but also to examine perspective as it relates to our racial violence, violence against women, our failure to acknowledge our past, and the racial divide that continues to exist today yet in the schizophrenia of America life.
