FICUNAM 2023: A CONVERSATION WITH NAOMI UMAN ON HER TRAJECTORY UP TO ‘THREE SPARKS’
By Katy Montoya
Naomi Uman is known for her experimental and intervened in film like Removed and Hand-Eye Coordination. Her reflections on the gaze over women’s bodies don’t fall into a simplistic anti porn stance or reduce the desire to see women’s bodies to a masculine whim. Other segments of her work can be characterized by an impulse to reach out into the world that is accompanied intimately by an impulse to reach inward and make herself vulnerable.
