Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin is the latest brilliant addition
to artist Philomene Hoël ongoing series of works playing
with the dynamics of her personal relationship in unexpected
staged encounters. In this work Hoël plays a high-wire game
with her fellow researchers, exploring the nature of their
mutual obsession; filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin, whose life and
fictive world bleeds into their encounter through a series of
interventions in disconcerting and hilarious ways. Part interview,
part therapy session, the work creates a shifting power play
of fiction and reality, staging and improvisation, pulling at and
revealing the nature and tensions within a set of real relationships.
