Koffler Gallery presents the first solo show in Canada of British-Spanish artist filmmaker Isabel Rocamora. Her large-scale video installations consider the performative language of human gesture and its relationship to individual and cultural identity. Including Faith (2015, exhibition premiere), Body of War (2010), Horizon of Exile (2007) and Portrait in Time and Gesture (2005), this exhibition examines issues of faith, exile, territorial attachment and the intimacy of violence.
