2025
In the late 19th century, thousands of Native Hawaiians with leprosy were torn from their families and banished to a secluded peninsula on the island of Molokai. Into this place of despair came a young Belgian priest, Father Damien, who chose to share their fate. He ate with the sick, bandaged their wounds and dug their graves. To his critics he seemed reckless and stubborn, but to the people he was father and friend. In time, Damien’s compassion led him to contract the disease himself, becoming one with those he served. When he died of leprosy in 1889, the world mourned him as a hero and saint. His sacrifice would inspire generations, from Robert Louis Stevenson to Gandhi and Mother Teresa.STATIC

“There were so many of us, but when it all ended, each of us went our own way.” We see footage of the Green Movement, a wave of protests in Iran that began in the summer of 2009, in response to the presidential election fraud in favor of the incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. We see the chaos, the solidarity among the people, and the amazement too: that this is possible, that this is actually happening. Shaky handheld images capture both the energy of the crowd and the panic when shots suddenly ring out. Meanwhile, a voice-over calmly recounts what happened to the people we see.Deluge

Experimental audiovisual work of art. First I used an individually prepared (manipulated) CRT (analog) television, then digital editing followed. This piece refers to the birth of video art when the images were modified with a magnet. The sound / noise was also generated by the magnet, so it is a real-time audiovisual improvisation / 'comprovisation'. Aesthetics of error and visual music where you can almost see what you can hear.Shrinking Space
