Before his untimely death, William Pope.L was commissioned to make a new work for MONUMENTS. Though this never came to fruition, Pope.L’s 2012 film Reenactor engages with the Lost Cause leisure activity of battlefield re-enactments. In celebration of his life, The Brick is pleased to present two nights of Pope.L video works in partnership with Now Instant.

Please note: this film is non-narrative and attendees are invited to come and go as they please.

“Reenactor is a film about how we costume and theatricalize time in order to make sense of our mortality. We dress reality up in history, documentary, biography, or art to restage and reorder the chaos of getting from one side of life to the other. Reenactor is a poor man’s parallel universe; it is my way of haunting time. I call Reenactor my Civil War film but the war I’m referring to is any great trauma that marks the land and its people such that ghosts are spawned and made restless.”
