Summary

In Friedman's earlier work, she explored portrait films and dreamscapes. "Untitled (Revenant)" (2002) combines these explorations. Her camera follows a man as he muses over the surroundings, years of possessions accumulated around him. A figure enters the space, but they never share the same space at the same time, giving a sense of objects and environment continuing through time, during and after owners and occupants. (Note: The home is in Chicago, a different art collector from "Robert's Place".)
