We close the 2025 season of Moving Images at Sapieha Palace with a screening of selected works by American artist and filmmaker Ericka Beckman. Working in New York since the 1970s alongside peers from the performance, video, and avant-garde music scenes, Beckman has created a distinct body of films that focus on games, sports, and play to interrogate the relationship between the private and public self.
