This is a new series that I started on Instagram and is meant to work in both the sphere of social media and the context of exhibition. Each video adopts a separate character who makes short sharp statements very quickly. This series aims to comment succinctly on social issues, tech, relationships, gender equity and the worldwide insanity we're all experiencing today. External insanities can insidiously worm their way into us, which is where I place this work--in a place of attempting to deal with grief, incredulousness, disbelief, abject frustration. These videos also utilize humor as a social sanction against the inflexibility that fear pushes us toward. They are very short vignettes that utilize the face of the artist, always altered so as to make the person in the video irrelevant and the character she is portraying relevant--subverting the idea of the selfie and attempting, perhaps unsuccessfully, to subvert facial recognition.
