In this lecture, Faye Ginsburg discusses “the Indigenous uncanny” as a way to understand some recent “hyperreal” works by two well-known Australian Indigenous artists: experimental photographer and videographer Tracey Moffatt and her latest work, Spirit Landscapes; and filmmaker and musician Warwick Thornton and his recent feature-length experimental documentary, The Darkside.

Faye Ginsburg is an American anthropologist and Professor of Anthropology at New York University, where she founded the Center for Media, Culture and History.
