video art :: Minnestoa 2024
videos from summer trip to visit family in Minnestoa (Summer 2024)
i like these titles a fair amount too. i want to offer explanation for "four [walls]..." since the title is a specific citation i'm paraphrasing with the bracketed text. as a tribute to brat summer, i guess, i'm playing off of the lyrics from the song, "Everything is Romantic," that go, 'four generations make up a family.' my video deals with the subject of framing and other such settler technologies of enclosing and gridding. i was interested in how the picture frame makes a kind of claim of mastery over the indigenous artwork it boxes in. aside from the picture frame, i was thinking about these things in reference to the playmobil box, and especially the outlandish claims it lists on its outside. i wanted to think about households and childhood play as another kind of enclosure technology.

"fidelity, or" , i think this one is pretty self-explanatory. i was so thrown off by the cover of that children's book i felt like i had to take a video of it. i tried to accentuate the distortion already present in the caricatured face. i didn't read the book, but the title felt vaguely racist. but i want to believe...

i don't know that my kitchen prayer turned out exactly like i wanted it to, but i think the intention is still there. the motivating force was that i found three different iterations of a "my kitchen prayer" wood carving/wall art in one of the thrift stores my cousin took me to. religion, domesticity, and the midwest have a strange relationship. i've only ever witnessed this stuff vicariously. the enterprise is so big and yet the midwest is so lonely.
