Taken from more than 40 hours of footage from performances across the US, the images that compose this photo series were projected on raw off-white canvas and rephotographed with a digital camera. Akin to a pointillist painting that becomes atomized the closer you look, the re-photography process adds another layer of mediation through colored grains and texture. For the artist, this additional information represents an attempt to get to a greater idea of truth. After five years of re-presenting, re-working, and re-staging the ongoing creation and performance of Until, Until, Until…, these eight images are Arceneaux’s attempt to look back on his engagement with theater, acting, and directing in a formal sense, and reflect on the work’s relevance through the lens of the past four years of regressive US politics — as well as the global protests inspired by economic collapse from the COVID-19 pandemic, the unjust police killings of Black and other people of color, and our personal feelings of despair, uncertainty, and hope. Simply put, the world is quite different than it was in 2015.
