"Miyelo" is comprised of a series of large-scale, panoramic photographs of a Lakota Ghost Dance. They record a re-creation of the dance that was originally performed by members of Chief Big Foot's band on December 29, 1890 near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. These long exposures represent what was intended as a hallucination by a veteran of the Wounded Knee Massacre, as shot in the California Desert in March 2003 for the movie "Hidalgo." The intent was to capture the event as a delirious remembrance, an ephemeral dream. The artist hopes these images might illustrate his belief that regardless of the context of any specific time or place, "we communicate, at best, as outlines and silhouettes to each other; blurry vanishing tracings of what we really see, feel and mean." An accompanying book will be published by Pereceval Press and made available at the gallery. Viggo Mortensen is an accomplished photographer, painter, poet and actor. His work is the subject of numerous books and has been exhibited at The Robert Mann Gallery, Track 16 Gallery, Fototeca de Cuba and most recently at Museet for Fotokunst in Denmark. Upcoming exhibitions are scheduled at The Wellington City Gallery and Massey University in Wellington, New Zealand this December.
