Virginia Lee Montgomery: CUT COPY SPHINX, 2018

CUT COPY SPHINX is a surreal, sculptural short art-film about metaphysics, myth, and destruction. A feminist twist on the classical myth of Oedipus and the Sphinx, CUT COPY SPHINX recasts the sphinx as the uncanny hero who endures ‘cuts’ across time. Shot en plein aire on a miniature prop-set with a Dewalt® drill and a gallon of honey, CUT COPY SPHINX syncs philosophy, feminism, and image theory.
