Current Work


Current Work


The following are two videos in a series of work dealing with issues of truth, performance and affect. Through the translation of text, including movie scripts and personal memoirs, actors and actresses re-enact various scenes often in the form of storytelling. The subjects in "Sex, Lies and Videotape: The Script" repeatedly act out a single scene. Each performance is subtly different resulting in a questionable idea of success and character embodiment. "The White Album," however, exhibits a seemingly endless narrative in which numerous stories intertwine and connect on the most basic of levels, such as single words, emotions, and content.
