Additional Information: Lot is comprised of three large scale stills from Eve Sussman's reinterpretation of the Roman myth, "The Rape of the Sabine Women." Images are individually titled "Women in the S-Bahn," "Mari and Gray at Window," and "Grayson Rises." The improvised dramatization is set in the 1960s, with a musical score by Jonathan Bepler taking the place of any dialogue. The film debuted at the 47th International Thessaloniki Film Festival in 2006, after which it presented on tour in Greece, Germany, the US and the UK. The Rufus Corporation is a group of artists and performers under the direction of artist Eve Sussman. "Her work originates from fascination with simple gestures and casual expressions, which she observes, captures, and stages in videos, films, installations and photographs."
