Project: Garbage Glitter, Pt. 2

Selected garbage clips, such as counters, leaders, scratches, burns, dust and random visuals accidentally created over time, have been gathered from discarded Americana educational and industrial films and re-assembled into four minutes of colorful, glittering abstraction. This non-narrative mishmash - loosely constructed to mimic the formula and pace of a movie- has been constructed to create a purely sensory experience personal to the viewer.

Project: Candy Heart Ransom Love Letters

In five complicated and unsettling steps this video is a full-blown parody of a relationship from the blissful beginning to its woeful end. A remix of two naive young couples from industrial films highlight a recurrent path as they travel through typical dysfunctional love affairs. The main headliners, however, are candy hearts, unseen text messagers and deceptive ransom love notes that facilitate typical expressions of amorous doom.

Project: Auroville Dream [Tales From the City]

Virtual, real and imaginary locations are collaged together to form multi-layered 3D structures which rapidly transform over time. City visuals merge with floating YouTube videos and disembodied voices; a Street View screencast video reveals futuristic tree-clad architecture; pop-up time-lapse recordings reveal models of geodesic domes placed directly into Google Earth by the artist. Another scene perpetually rotates around a complex and ambiguous landscape inspired by a fuzzy JPEG found on the Web, showing an aerial view of a faraway settlement named Auroville, India - All emphasize the fragmented nature of found material, sourced within the ubiquitous circulation of images.

Proyecto: Rose

Rose, this silent video consists solely of layered photos of a rose. Everything seems to float from one state to the next, like a wave, a moment of respiration that ends in final exhalation. The eye, focus of the camera revolves around the increasingly fleshy petals; it shows pearls of moisture like dew, like beads of body fluids. The camera slowly gets closer as if to penetrate the blossom, to reveal its inside like a microscope. This intense moment is brief and the steady transformation continues until the flower closes back onto itself, fades and finally turns pallid until swallowed by a white light.

Project: A Bird's Tale

This short film combine history, politics and current events with levity and witty irreverence. This is subversive and a comment on the human condition itself offering the viewer a behind-the-scenes look at the heroic and the rational. Most of my subjects are familiar but recontextualized. In what they encompass or allude to, these works transcend the merely comically grotesque or the quest for objectivity.
