My new and ongoing video series Darling, Work on Instagram and Tik Tok is going gangbusters! Meant to work in the sphere of social media and in the context of exhibition, the video series has been chosen for Over the Structures at CICA Museum in Seoul, South Korea and the 59th Ann Arbor Film Festival in Michigan in 2021. The museum chose a compilation that strings together various deconstructions of identity and serializes them into a loose dialog with each other. These videos are part of an ongoing series created on IG and Tik Tok and mostly shared on Instagram. They are meant to work in the sphere of social media, online viewing and in the context of exhibition. This series comments on social issues, tech, relationships, gender equity, deconstruction/reconstruction of identity, fragmentation, and the worldwide insanity we're all experiencing. It attempts to deal with grief, incredulousness, disbelief, frustration and anxiety and finds a solution by embracing humor as a social sanction against inflexibility. Each video is a short vignette that utilizes the face of the artist, always altered in order to deconstruct identity, make the person in the video irrelevant, and the character she is portraying relevant--subverting the selfie and attempting to subvert facial recognition.
