Intensities, 2016
Single Channel HD video with Sound.
Duration: 10:21 mins
Intensities examines the pure potential that lies in a still moment. Stillness that invites us to decelerate amid constant movement and activity necessitated by our techno-capitalist and consumerist lifestyles. Bringing attention to hundreds of micro-skeletal movements the body makes while it tries to find balance, the work builds upon the questions such as how do we resist over a long period of time? How do we create a space to rise and re-imagine the futures we want to live in?
This work was part of the Art + Process + Ideas (A+P+I) residency program at the Mills College Art Museum.
