Screening continuously on Renaissance TV
Tune in to Renaissance TV for a weeklong screening of Jordan Strafer’s film PEAK HEAVEN LOVE FOREVER (2022).
This new video work is based on a true story of kinship and betrayal aboard a transatlantic air ambulance from London to Miami. Including life-size dolls and starring live actors (in order of appearance) Marti Wilkerson, Jim Fletcher, Alexandro Segade, and Cammisa Buerhaus, the video is a psychological thriller that takes place in flight—while time moves glacially, reality becomes suspended.
Renaissance TV is an online platform created to produce and host artists’ projects. It focuses on moving image and occasionally expands onto performance and sound work.
