Video

To create a series of short experimental films exploring the theme of Body Dysmorphia. My proposed presentation would be to project the films into small mirrors, that would reflect onto walls in fragmented images for viewers to watch.

The success of the project relies heavily on the presentation and technical aspects. I believe the residency can facilitate this presentation and it is my reasoning for choosing Glogauair.

By using the medium of experimental filmmaking the images can represent a feeling in a non-linear and subtle way, creating more room for the audience to participate in the interpretation of the piece.

During my three months I will film, edit, and create sound for the films. I intent to film using the new environment and living settings as my starting place. New mirrors in a new space always change the way we see ourselves, I hope to utilize this in my project.
