The Man Without a World
Eleanor Antin In-Person
Eleanor Antin is an influential performance artist, filmmaker, and installation
artist, who focuses on history - whether of ancient Rome, the Crimean War, the
salons of nineteenth-century Europe, or her own Jewish heritage and Yiddish
culture - as a way to explore the present. She received a Guggenheim
Foundation Fellowship in 1997 and a Media Achievement Award from the National
Foundation for Jewish Culture in 1998. She has had numerous solo exhibitions,
including an award-winning retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art in 1999. Antin is a highly respected artist and teacher, and has been a
professor at the University of California, San Diego since 1975.
The Man Without a World is an amazing recreation of a black and white silent melodrama that appears to be directed by an imaginary genius named Yevgeny Antinov in Poland in 1928. Drawing elaborately on the traditions of Yiddish cinema - dybbuks, weddings, exorcisms - and imposing a witty, feminist slant on them, the movie follows the fortunes of a merchant’s daughter whose bohemian lover is seduced away from her by a sultry gypsy ballerina, played by Antin herself.
