Lorna Simpson highlights how Chantal Akerman's film "Jeanne Dielman" influenced her artistic perspective, particularly through its portrayal of the mundane aspects of daily life.
Simpson reflects on the film's unique narrative style, emphasizing the importance of duration and observation while witnessing the protagonist's repetitive daily routine.
She describes her own artwork, "31," as an homage to Akerman's influence, showcasing a woman through day and night across 31 days, mirroring Akerman's exploration of small moments.
Simpson connects the concept of time and observation in Akerman’s work to her own practice, where tiny details are transformed into significant narrative elements.
