Reversal

2024 • Directed by

Diane Nerwen

Reversal combines images and sounds from movies released or broadcast in 1973, the year the Supreme Court decided Roe v Wade. In the strange new reality ushered in by the Dobbs decision, the slogan "We won't go back" is recalled with bitter irony. This collage piece evokes the specter of regression and repression that has followed the Court's decision.
