Hush…
Single-channel video, 8:00, 2016
A found footage film, Hush… condenses a classic Hollywood horror of the 1960s into a series of brief and haunting vignettes. A heated argument in crumbling plantation mansion. A murder in the summerhouse. A severed head rolls down the stairs. A severed hand lies on the floor. Who perpetrated these vicious acts? By removing the central elements of the narrative, Henricks shifts our attention to the periphery; to those objects, mechanisms and conventions to which we seldom pay attention.
