Enduranceshows a ten-minute excerpt from an archival film of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 expedition to the South Pole on the ship Endurance, projected onto Nina Katchadourian’s front tooth. While the film plays, she tries to smile without losing composure. Her increasingly distressed breathing and the sound of her slurping mouth constitute the soundtrack. Endurance is a comic reflection on history, duration and heroism.
