Her films have screened internationally in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia; in museums and galleries, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York,[ and the KW Institute of Contemporary Art in Berlin.
