Hope Tucker documents the afterlives of social, institutional, and environmental decisions. She has animated cyanotypes of downwinders; recorded mobile phone footage of the last public phone booths of Finland; written the text of a video out of paper clips, a Norwegian symbol of nonviolent resistance; retraced the path of protest that closed the only nuclear power plant in Austria; and preserved reckonings made by travelers to the site of the first detonation of an atomic bomb.
Her films have screened in hundreds of cultural spaces including Ambulante Documentary Festival, MX; Cairo Video Festival; Flaherty NYC; Festival Jean Rouch, Paris; Guam Public Television; International Film Festival, Rotterdam; Open City Docs, London; Punto de Vista, Pamplona; Sundance Film Festival.
Tucker completed Atomkraftwerk Zwentendorf at MacDowell in 2017.
