Lynn Hershman Leeson
Agent Ruby Expressions, 1998
Digital archive print, Edition of 5 plus 1 AP, 30 x 40 in.
Agent Ruby was conceived as an “e-dream portal,” a new experience in expanded cinema originating from the character Ruby (played by Tilda Swinton) in Hershman Leeson’s 2002 feature film Teknolust. The piece reflects the artist’s long-standing interest in the interaction of fictional and virtual characters with real people and situations.
