American Falls: Phil Solomon is a new multi-projection video installation by celebrated experimental filmmaker
Phil Solomon, commissioned for the Corcoran’s Rotunda. Inspired by Frederic Edwin Church’s 1857
masterpiece Niagara, one of the best-known paintings in the Corcoran’s collection, and by Washington’s
memorial architecture, American Falls explores the aspirations and struggles that lie at the heart of the
American Dream.
"I looked at the new brochures for the Deanwood and Civil Rights Heritage Trails. I am always astonished and amazed at the work you do and the quality of it. Beautiful."
