The result is a defiantly unresolved exploration of the myth and memory of the African-American experience, an experience not fully collective or personal, but something uncomfortably in between, unfolding in a sinister and humorous shadowland of grotesque silhouettes and puppets. Walker's Turin project further explores the drama of race that is as much a drama of the unconscious as it is about skin. ER -
