Kevin Jerome Everson/complete works (2001- )

A still image of a film by Kevin Jerome Everson

“Kevin Jerome Everson’s prolific body of work is grounded in formalism and combines scripted and documentary elements. The subject matter is the gestures or tasks caused by certain conditions in the lives of African-Americans and people of African descent, often working class. The conditions are usually physical, social and economic circumstances, or weather. His films suggest the relentlessness of everyday life–along with its beauty–and present oblique metaphors for art making.” (Video Data Bank)
