Digital video, shot on a flip camera, color, sound
A video made within a set built in an office space. Performance artist Mireya Lucio and myself trapped ourselves in this room for a few days. We performed different scenarios using the limit of words taken from political speeches and commercials, which both discussed the concept of freedom. Our scenarios where based on our back-story that the world had ended and we where stuck in the office space together – we could only discuss what we should do. I was interested in investigating the individualism that language promotes, found within the cultural industry and how this effects our social position. Shot in the late Mike Kelley's studio in Los Angeles.
