So Help Me Hannah, 1979, one of ten performance tapes, black and white, 25 min.So Help Me Hannah Hannah Wilke 1982, 29 min, color, sound This documentation of a 1982 event at the A.I.R. Gallery in New York features a riveting performance by Wilke, who is nude (except for high heeled-shoes) and aiming a gun. As she stalks the performance space like Emma Peel crossed with an exotic dancer, two cameramen follow her, recording her every movement. Dissonant music and a voiceover text about art, violence, power and gender provide the aural counterpoint to her often provocative physical gestures. Camera: Robert Rubin, Bill Dolson. Sound: G. Lindahl.full view, left: Art Gallery of Windsor, Ontario, with live video cameras, audiotape, and slide projection.
