Art Students Display Emotions of ‘Macbeth’ in Video Installation

Project is available for viewing through the end of the week

OXFORD, Miss. – The Department of Art and Art History at the University of Mississippi is hosting a collaborative video installation this week at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts.

Students in a digital video course created “The Color of Tragedy,” which was themed around the Ole Miss Theatre production of “Macbeth.” The students focused on the variety of emotions found in “Macbeth” and created a looping video to convey those emotions.

“The students really committed to this project, and we were all thrilled to be able to show their efforts within the Ford Center,” said Valerie Guinn Polgar, art and art history instructor.

Each video is displayed in a grid format, inspired by the Rubik’s Cube, and will be available for viewing in the Ford Center lobby through the end of the week (April 27).
