With a sense of place and history, the films of artist Kevin Jerome Everson combine scripted and documentary moments with touches of formalism and materiality. The focus is on craft and duration, and the gestures and tasks caused by certain physical and socio-economic conditions in the lives, labour and leisure of working-class Black Americans and people of African descent. The work suggests not only the relentlessness of everyday life but also reveals its inherent beauty.
