Christine Lucy Latimer - Fragile Systems
The films and videos of Christine Lucy Latimer defy their containers: they reveal the fragile systems underlying media, press the boundaries of image-making machines, and embrace the faults and frailties of vision.

Her work began long after most of the formats she employs had become obsolete.
