hyla skopitz
Hyla Skopitz grew up with a giant papier maché hot dog on the mantle and a rubber bat hanging from the chandelier. She naturally developed an eye for detail and ironic juxtapositions. As a teenager, she began documenting the endless shelves and cubbyholes filled with miscellaneous screws and bolts, coils of wires covered in cobwebs, and arcane gadgets in various states of disrepair that her grandfather, a child of the depression, collected in secret basement rooms.Her photographs and videos continue to investigate history, nostalgia, sentimentality, and family relics. They oscillate between diaristic and documentary, emotional and objective, the present and memory. Hyla co-founded Indecisive Moment, an organization dedicated to bringing emerging video art to the public eye.
