Mogul is Mobil Volume III Redux
1975/2022
video/film
Looking like a 1970’s “Rosie the Riveter”, Mogul takes on the persona of an artist who makes a living posting billboards on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. As Mogul recounts her climb up the billboard “ladder”, she realizes that the only way to truly make a “name” for herself is to create her own billboard. And so she does. “Redux” tackles a recurring theme throughout Mogul’s work – a female artist’s anxiety about fame, fortune, and survival in the art world. Revisiting the 1975 version of Mogul is Mobil in 2022, Susan decided to cut its’ ten minute running time by half, enhance the sound, and voilà Redux.
