The Mothers
2021 / 2022 [pinned]
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 [pinned]
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.
349 THINGS
2025
349 Things I Don't Need to Worry About Right Now is a collaboration between artist Marcel Marcel and poet Elizabeth Marie Young. It takes text from one of Young’s poems as the starting point for a video consisting of screen recordings of online surveillance live cams with an attending soundscape. 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.

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 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 the category of human.

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.

Refuge/
refugee
2019
This video is part of the State of Emergency project, a project that links joy, activism and art. The oversized assembled emergency blanket represents a safe protective material in contrast with the violence upon this home that is earth, that is this nation, that is this city.

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.
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.
