Thorson, Alice. Excerpt from review of “In the Moment”, Kansas City Star, December, 2010
Susan White's "On Breathing" is a minimalist video self-portrait incorporating shadow images of the artist
projected onto a satiny curtain. Set to the plaintive strains of Meredith Monk's "Liquid Air," it's a contemplative
piece that reaches across the centuries to Caspar David Friedrich's solitary figures.
They gaze out at the landscape, whereas White's images, which capture the artist standing in front of
video projections at the Palais deTokyo, the Museum of Modern Art and one of her own works at the
Bemis Center in Omaha, speak to the transfixing power of art.
