Alex Jovanovich’s installation for the 2014 Biennial is composed of four 35mm slideshows. The slideshows employ a stark, black and white palette, a deliberate pace, and poetic language hearkening back to the Old Testament and American Puritanism to explore romantic subjects such as love, spirituality, melancholy, and the cosmos.
