Synopsis
Footage of a burning sun opens Steve McQueen’s *Sunshine State*, a two-channel video projection displayed on adjacent screens. The work features images from *The Jazz Singer* (1927), the first film to incorporate synchronized dialogue, starring Al Jolson. This piece marks McQueen’s first new artwork since his major commission *Year 3* at Tate Britain in 2019. The 30-minute film intertwines historical cinema with contemporary visual art.
