Amuse-gueule #1: Digital Destinies 2012
“And what remains? Well, what was there to begin with?” By emphasizing the notion that one is watching a Hollywood movie—via recognition of a screen, zine, or image framed by social media—the practice of viewing images can be reconsidered. The Amuse-Gueule series, the Good-bye, My Lady images, and Gina’s many other films, projects, and social media posts request greater awareness of the illusion of fictional characters, and thereby what they are affecting in our reality. Gina unearths ghosts that both…

Fireworks 1997
Why does one remain unmoved by stills from Bitter Victory when one knows that it is the most beautiful of films? Because they express nothing.

As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty 2000
8,171 people have marked this film as “watched” on letterboxd as I write this. Is that a lot? It seems like it to me, and it spins me in circles that most everyone that has watched the entirety of this film has let it guide their thoughts down new paths. Some towards the American avant-garde and beyond; towards New York City, Anthology Film Archives, and The Film-Maker’s Coop; towards love, marriage, grief. The paths that this movie has sent me…
