We Are Family

2017 • 4 min • United States of America

This film falls along the lines of an experimental film and an original, unusual narrative short. It toys with the idea of ethnicity, race and origins, mixed with transgender, straight, gay, bisexual and queer identities. Genders, races and sexual orientations combine themselves and the lines get blurry. Differences become similarities. The film was purposefully shot on a old VHS camera, to allude to vintage, family home videos.

Histories of Simulated Intimacy

2017 • 11 min • United States of America

Histories of Simulated Intimacy is a sensory essay film that investigates the gaps in time and space produced by the technological mediation of human love and desire. Roving, dismembered voices – messages left for the filmmaker by former lovers, found voice messages made on gramophone discs – hunt for image-bodies, creating a simultaneous presence and absence: a woman carried gently by the flow of a Lazy River; the undulations of a darkened, glimmering dance party; memories and traces of the once-massive Iowan prairies. The film explores polarities such as public and private, nature and culture, near and far, bios and techne, producing a space in which technologies of intimacy, separated by historical measurements of time, can coalesce in perpetuity.
