Last Chance to See Valley of the Deer at UWAG

[Jurakic, Ivan]

Last Week to experience JILLIAN McDONALD: VALLEY OF THE DEER
Open Daily until Saturday, December 19 from 12:00-5:00 pm

Inspired by the genre conventions of cinema, New York-based Jillian McDonald has been exhibiting her single- and multi-channel videos internationally for over a decade. Having explored horror movie tropes and zombie films in particular, there has been a gradual shift in the tone and substance of her recent work. Cast and filmed entirely on location in Northern Scotland during the artist’s participation in the 2012 Glenfiddich International Artist’s Residency, Valley of the Deer was produced in response to the fertile natural landscape and Scotland’s resonant yet troubled history. Paired with a series of wall drawings, McDonald's dense three-channel video projection juxtaposes uncanny imagery of masked villagers filmed amidst rural landscapes. Evoking aspects of both magic realism and pagan ritual, Valley of the Deer conjures a rich and visually haunting experience.
