The Mothers
2021 / 2022
The Mothers is a speculative video installation activating SCOBYs as material and metaphor. The work examines the ongoing production and reproduction of the related white supremacist fictions of settler colonialism and the gender binary, imagining a post-capitalist world based on an ethics of care and interdependence. It explores the abject, queer futurity and the symbiotic overlap of the microbes and humans.
on the clock
2020
Video remix based on a 12 minute guerrilla street performance in front of the Chicago Trump Tower. It was a carnivalesque processional, migratory feast in spite of, and to spite, the previous US Administration, ICE and our general state of emergency. As “emergency couture,” the costumes were composed as a degendered system of parts.
hot dogs 24/7
2018
Hot Dogs 24/7 is a sci-fi retelling of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave where text, image, and performative bodies merge to counter the seep of ur-fascism. When hot dogs are banned from the UR-Castle Realty workplace, the workers, sick of their surveilled environment, call for a general strike.
349 Worries
2024
349 Worries is a collaboration with poet Elizabeth Young and her poem and forthcoming chapbook, 349 Things to Worry About Right Now, released by Clones Go Home Press. The 3 channel video combines a poetry captions, a soundscape and surveillance footage. The collaboration reflects on the information overload that results from our contemporary digital and media landscapes.

the extra
day
2024
The Extra Day is an ritual-happening that occurs on the leap year day, Feb 29, 2024. Participants are invited to enter a queer architecture of time that collectively gestates rest and joy amidst grief and sorrow: genocide in Gaza, the exhaustion of capitalism and linear time.

Area C
2021
Area C explores the fiction of borders and binaries amidst systems of surveillance, colonization and control. The masked shapes are maps from the Oslo accords depicting the alleged division of land in Israel and Palestine as Areas A, B and C. The video remixes Marcel's 2017 footage from Area C with 2020 surveillance footage from public webcams in Silwad, Ramallah and Nablus.

guts4guts
2023
Guts4Guts is a collaboration with veronique d’entremont’s and their installation series “The Table is an Altar”, marking the third course in their conceptual feast. The installation highlights kombucha SCOBYs (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) growing in family dinnerware nested in tablescape of live microgreens. As a speculative model for coexistence, G4G is a collective ritual that enacts the porousness of the boundaries of human.

refugee

pop-up
copy shop
2019
A 24 hour durational performance piece making photocopies of my drawings and internet memes that are later sold for 10 cents. The production resulted in a floor to ceiling collage of drawings and then later green-screened out in video post-production. The project is a reflection on labor, erasure of labor, art production and reproduction, and authenticity.
