Eulogy for Lost Worlds Project

"Eulogy for Lost Worlds" is an amalgam of three locations/cultures/histories: the Miami Indians of Peru, Indiana at the end of their independence as a tribe in the 1840's, 19th century French painting and culture (the Miamis intermingled, traded and married French fur trappers and missionaries for two centuries prior to and after the French and Indian war), and my own Catholic European American ancestry and its attendant privileges. These three world views float through each other within the hand painted imagery based on found and invented material (portraits of artists from the Louvre and portraits of Miami Indians by George Winter), allowing Boardman's gestures to co-mingle with those of other artists.

The soundtrack by Robert Metrick merges the voices of French Canadian Folk Songs, recorded in the 1950's with a contemporary recording of the Miami Indians of Indiana, many of whom were converted to Christianity by French priests over the course of 200 years. https://vimeo.com/61962232
