Tiffany Sia

[often thinks of what Pavle Levi said in response to her recent artist talk at Stanford of her film "A Child Already Knows": "And what the child really knows when it comes to images already is that images are, to use your own terminology or language from the film, images are pried up, open only once. And it’s that initial experience of encountering a film or films for the first time or any kind of powerful image at a young age, very impressionable age, which then, throughout the rest of your life, you hopelessly and without success try to recreate, because these images will never, ever strike you the same way. And that’s what I think this film is also about. And this is why I think it’s so beautiful that the personal narrative and personal history is fed through this problematic of impossible to recreate encounter with images. And thus the endless substitutes. Cartoons, puppets, puppetry, locomotion. There’s something very uncanny about all this because they are and are not working as substitutes." This summer, she is currently reading James C. Scott's "Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States"]
