Based on Man Rays photograph,"Tears," this video allows the subject to come alive and blink.
This US Attorney's Office photograph from 1933 is brought to life with a subtle, simple movement of a clock. For display in a framed video monitor. (Thomas E. Dewey is one of the few pictured here. Full list pending.)
The short video piece is a collaboration with performance artist Antonia Wright. As Antonia tediously inflates balloons one by one, she becomes exhausted and engulfed by the very balloons she creates. Her release comes from popping each one, freeing her from the balloons and all the effort she put into them. The balloons represent the overwhelming amount of fake breasts in today's society.
