As director of The Obituary Project, a compendium of contemporary
salvage ethnography, Hope Tucker documents the disappearance of people,
places, traditions, and objects. She has recently animated old
instructions for making fishing nets by hand, shot footage of the last
phone booths of Finland, and written the entire text of a video out of
paper clips, a symbol of Nordic nationalism. Screenings include Ann
Arbor; Athens; Director’s Lounge, Berlin; Film Center, Chicago; Images
Toronto; Leeds International Film Festival; National Museum of Women in
the Arts, DC; PDX; Ukranian Museum of Art, Chicago; Vox Populi Gallery,
Philadelphia; Wexner Center for the Arts; WTTW Chicago Public
Television.
