Prosaic Portraits, Ironies and Other Intimacies

Susan Mogul's first video diary work, produced two years before Everyday Echo Street: A Summer Diary (1993), follows the artist on a trip though Eastern Europe immediately after the fall of the USSR. Through discussions with various characters about politics, art, and each others personal lives, Mogul creates a video time capsule of social life in Poland, then Czechoslovakia, and former Yugoslavia.

“With wonderful footage, great interviews — she chronicles a changing political and artistic scene in Poland… she titillates, outrages and always knows when to move on.”

— Sally Stein, art historian, 1991
