“With Perfidia, a new book of the artist-filmmaker’s writings, edited by Julie Niemi and stunningly designed by Chris Lee, Hopinka delves further into the effects of the violent foundations of the US, and their impact on the everyday lives of Indigenous peoples,” writes Dessane Lopez Cassell in Hyperallergic. “The text takes the form of a lengthy poem, and unfolds via a series of lucid cantos. These poetic compositions are punctuated by the artist’s own photographs, which alternate between the serene and more foreboding visions.”
