FEMMEBIT’s exhibition, “In Medias Res,” is our devoted missive to Los Angeles and its Southern California landscape. This exhibition negotiates the City of Angels through artistic praxes, offering an imaginative counter-dialogue to the mainstream media and iconic Hollywood culture. “In Medias Res” reflects today’s digital uprootedness from time-based narratives of Hollywood’s silver screen to invoke liminal spaces of belonging.
The artists showcased on Feral File, four of whom are interviewed here, have rigorous art practices in film, digital art, and internet culture. Among them, Petra Cortright employs consumer and corporate software to create intricate digital landscapes. Her New Landscapes 2023 explore a simulated environment with enigmatic desert vistas.
