Independent Film Series: Worst Possible Illusion: The Curiosity Cabinet of Vik Muniz

Featuring a post-screening Q&A with Editor & Co-Writer Iris Cahn and Director & Co-Writer Anne-Marie Russell

Otherwise known as one of the art world’s rising young stars, the Brazilian artist invites viewers on a tour of his life, work and mind. The documentary follows Vik on a whimsical, world-hopping journey from his studio in Brooklyn, New York; to his native Brazil for a visit to his grandmother; to Chicago, his first home in the United States where he worked as a gas-station attendant and pushed carts in a grocery store; to Arizona, where he creates a gigantic bone “excavation” in the desert and goes to extraordinary lengths to capture it on film.
