Hugh Livingston
Passing Days
The canonical beauty of a sunset inspires the exploration of the passage of time in Hugh Livingston’s multi-channel video, Passing Days.
- Screening Launch: Thursday, March 2
Sunset experiences have deep cultural significance, so why not enjoy many, as often as possible, in a contrapuntal, almost musical, format?
