In De-time, iconic multi-disciplinary artist Shuzo Azuchi Gulliver (b. 1947 in Shiga, Japan) presents video works, chalk paintings, photographs, and archival materials variously engaged with the intersection of temporality, design, communication, and the archive. Presented as part of Haverford College’s annual STRANGE TRUTH series, the exhibition also features the documentation of Cinematic Illumination viewable on the VCAM Projection Wall during the April 9th exhibition opening reception as well as a program of short video pieces in the VCAM Screening Room.

Strange Truth 2020 examines the relationship between the visual and structures of power by engaging with politics of race, gender, and identity. Showcasing the work of international filmmakers, artists, activists, and media scholars, this year’s series explores how documentary and expanded cinema practices make visible the role of images in complicating and (re)constructing complex narratives of history, memory, and time.
Organized by Erin Schoneveld, Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures; Assistant Professor of Visual Studies; and Director of the Visual Studies Program, and Kathryne Corbin, Senior Lecturer of French and Francophone Studies; Coordinator of Gender and Sexuality Studies; VCAM Faculty Fellow (2019-20).
Strange Truth is made possible by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities’ Philadelphia Area Creative Collaboratives (PACC) initiative and Leaves of Grass Visiting Artist Program; VCAM and the Malcolm Baldwin 1962 Fund; the Distinguished Visitors Program; the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures; the Department of French and Francophone Studies; the Interdisciplinary Minor in Visual Studies; Bryn Mawr Film Institute; and Collaborative Cataloging Japan.
