Makeshift folklore for an uncertain world.
Shot in the Mexican state of Michoacan and constructed using the same techniques employed in the Surrealist parlor game of the “Exquisite Corpse”, this video holds a mirror up to the unseen, hallucinates and reflects it back into the everyday forever and ever and ever. The work is about “tourism” in every sense of the word: the fascination and fear of the strange/other, the obsessive need to document and record experience, and the destabilizing effect of foreign environments on identity. Real and imagined characters populate this two-part video in a continual reversal of roles, forcing the viewer to decide which is the real and which is the imaginary.
