Dreaming Girl
WARREN VANCE

October 13 - November 18, 2006

The girl in Little Girl Dreaming is a pre-Hollywood child actress who was photographed for a Still Life Magic Lantern Slide Story set around 1890.  Video footage shot by the artist and superimposed onto the face of this anonymous star animates and makes real her ghostly appearance. This paradoxical juncture of the physical present and metaphysical past has been a recurrent theme in Vance’s work.
