We’ve heard this story before: The Salem Witch Trials. All based on suspicion, jealousy, hersay, and accusation. But in our modernized version, gossip surrounding The Sisterhood of Night is circulated by immediate forms of communication, namely the internet and cellular phones. All-too revealing Myspace pages, low-resolution cell phone photos, and anonymous chat room babble add to the hysteria: Are the girls doing the unspeakable in the dead of night? Just like a teenage girl cuts and pastes together magazine clippings, stickers, and photographs, SISTERHOOD is a filmic collage in which seemingly two-dimensional plastic characters and contrasting media forms are brought to life in a visceral ensemble piece. Individually, the girls are mysterious and fragmented; they hide from the spotlight of controversy in the shadows of their overexposed world. But together in the dark and still of night, the girls of The Sisterhood function and breathe as one. As the visual interpreter, I build the case with evidence and then you be the judge: who is guilty of overexposure?
