Eleanor Friedberger: My Mistakes

An old VHS tape found in a dusty basement was the starting point for the collaboration between Eleanor Friedberger and musician/video artist/director Sara Magenheimer. The tape revealed a forgotten art project shot 14 years prior at the University of Texas by Friedberger’s college friend Beth Lieberman. In the footage we see Eleanor preparing for a date, going through ritualistic motions: she works out, showers, shaves her legs, applies eyeliner, and fixes her hair… leading up to the climactic moment of the date’s arrival.
