The End of Television The End of Television is an elegy for two dancers who died from AIDs related illnesses. To a mournful score by Roger Johnson performed by two pianists, I abstracted corporate architecture into a series of jeweled grids; used drawn images of dancers posed, stilled, yet moving and flashing over images of sexuality, confusion, threats, isolation, and decay. The final section of this short video show people dancing at a wedding, movements rendered as hostile, abrupt gestures, rather than beauty or grace. The visuals devolve into a color pattern that I literally scratched on a touch sensitive tablet, as though I was physically tearing the fabric of the image. |
