Ja'Tovia Gary

<p>Quiet as It&#39;s Kept (2023), an installation by Ja&#39;Tovia Gary, is a contemporary response to Toni Morrison&#39;s first novel, The Bluest Eye (1970). The filmic collage comprises the artist&#39;s own animation alongside viral social media clips, original Super 8 and documentary footage. Expanding on Morrison&#39;s exploration of the gaze as a central metaphor of The Bluest Eye, Gary examines the embodied realities of being a Black woman by combining images that are conceptually linked to characters, events, or themes in Morrison&#39;s story. Projected on a large-scale, the film  is accompanied by a vintage refrigerator filled with dried marigolds that spill out onto the floor bringing disorder into a domestic scenario. The installation suggests a fantastical space that echoes both Morrison&#39;s book and Gary&#39;s response.</p><p><br />Ja&#39;Tovia Gary (b. 1984, Dallas) is a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist working across documentary, avant-garde video art, sculpture, and installation.</p>
