The new Lightbox series is dedicated to showing artists’ film and video. Breda Beban’s film installation The Most Beautiful Women in Gucha 2006 looks at the authenticity of documentary footage and how postproduction techniques can begin to turn it into fiction.
Filmed at a raucous gathering of musicians in Serbia, the film captures the passionate encounter between a dancer and a young man. It reveals Beban’s preoccupation with the dynamics of love and relationships and the importance of gestures and performance.
