Two Faces Have I

Two Faces Have I gathers works by Jana Euler, Sylvie Fanchon and Pati Hill to orbit films by Chris Langdon – ‘the most important unknown filmmaker in the history of the Los Angeles avant-garde’.

Borrowed from Langdon’s 1973 film, the show’s title could also refer to its two iterations (Lisbon/Porto), the multiple lives of its protagonists, or the transformative gesture through which something might become something else, in either of these artist’s hands.

Combining still and moving images from the dead and the very much alive, the exhibition has always been thought of as four solo shows in one, in an approach not uncommon across Ampersand’s past seven years of activity in Lisbon.
