This film still from Sue de Beer's 2006 video installation The Quickening features underground German music star Gina V. d'Orio as a sexually repressed member of New England's late-17th-century Puritans. Lying on the ground, bonnet in place, this haunting still depicts d'Orio at rest after a hysteric fit. Recalling the witch trials of Salem, MA, the artist's hometown, and the alarmed accusations of young girls that ruined many lives, this image refers to one of the most scandalous periods in American history.Read Less

Much in the way Jeffrey Eugenides did in his novel The Virgin Suicides, Sue de Beer's films aim to explore the lives of "disaffected suburban American teenagers."

Splitting her time between Berlin and New York, de Beer has exhibited internationally at the New Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA PS1, the Brooklyn Museum, and Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. Read Less
