Sailing the Byzantium (2007) 11:54 min.
Simultaneously in the two grand-mother lands at once — a Slovenian town square at sunset, and rummaging through the other grandmother’s forgotten property in Ireland.
The title is taken from Yeats’ poem; whereby he muses on how immortality, art, and the human spirit may converge, while journeying to Byzantium. He describes the metaphorical journey of an artist pursuing his own vision of eternal life.
Biography
Lili White has been exhibiting her works in solo and group shows in the United States and abroad since before moving to New York. In Philadelphia she received at B.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts with a four-year painting certificate. Her interest in the moving image and multimedia, lead her to perform, write, produce, direct several live multi-media pieces, each of which included the performance participation of over a dozen actors, poets and dancers. Upon the introduction of computer digital editing programs, she made several videos, that featured her gestural performances as well as others that were based upon poetry and documentary subjects. These are often seen as a continuation of her earlier Super 8 film work and lead to screenings at numerous cultural centers, including the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, the Museum of American Art in Philadelphia and The Newhouse Center in Staten Island, New York.
