Tama Hochbaum: Silver Screen
After her mother passed away in February 2012, Hochbaum conceived the idea for Silver Screen a loving tribute to her mother and the films and Hollywood legends that gave her joy. She traces the trajectory of her mother’s legacy using stacked technologies: celluloid transmitted via broadcast and rendered digitally, the silver screen of her mother’s youth, the TV screen of Hochbaum’s own coming-of-age, and the ubiquitous iPhone screen of her daughter’s generation. In Silver Screen, Hochbaum reverently explores memory, attachment and loss with images that are simple, iconic and strangely current.
