SAM video: Marisa C. Sánchez discusses Smoke and Mirrors

Smoke and Mirrors presents 34 works from SAM's permanent collection that deal with perception, artifice, and the constructed nature of photographic and cinematic experience. The result is a compelling dialogue about illusion and the nature of representation, including sequential photogravures by Eadweard Muybridge, stop-action photographs by Harold Edgerton, and more recent works by artists such as Eileen Quinlan, Jan Groover, Patrick Nagatani and Hiroshi Sugimoto.

–Marisa C. Sánchez, Assistant Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art
