In the trio of video installations comprising THREE SONGS, Laura Taler braids singing, gesture and the language of filmmaking in an immersive, non-narrative approach to storytelling. THREE SONGS is rooted in Taler’s personal history of leaving Romania as a child and eventually settling in Canada. It explores such themes as familial ties, loss and displacement, and experiences of duality—of being caught between places— that are familiar to those creating new lives in different countries.
