Enter the intimate psychological landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand artist and filmmaker Juliet Carpenter.

MUMA + ACMI presents Carpenter’s EGOLANE (2022–24) and Dizzy (2022), two films that explore anxiety, time and female subjectivity.

In Dizzy, we encounter a woman lying on a bed in a strange room who repeatedly performs the hypnotic Epley manoeuvre designed to relieve the symptoms of vertigo.

In EGOLANE, we follow another female protagonist on a mysterious journey in a driverless car across freeways, through open fields and into a forest at dusk.

Following the screenings, the artist will be joined by MUMA Senior Curator Melanie Oliver for a discussion about filmmaking, desire and the production of subjectivity on screen.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Image Economies, curated by Stephanie Berlangieri, Melanie Oliver and Francis E. Parker, at MUMA, 8 February – 17 April 2025.
