Light Hits

The duo known as Light Hits, Kelie Bowman and Jessie Rose Vala, have put together a feast for the eyes in their latest exhibition Horus' Daughter. Inspired by the Egyptian Myth of Osiris and Isis, they have shot a 27-minute hyper-sexualized Brooklyn summertime re-telling through live action, animation, and shadow puppetry, all backed by an original moody score. The highlight, though, are costumes and props from the video which have a DIY-McQueen vibe. Also on display are colorful watercolor paintings and drawings that round out this beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy (sorry, that's exactly what it is).

Horus' Daughter is now on view at Cinders Gallery in Williamsburg through August 7th
