Refuse 2014 | |
Refuse is a word that refers not only to what we discard, but also to defiant acts that can catalyze change. Shot in Nepal, this video blends experimental and documentary techniques to reshape our understanding of the landscape and labor of trash-pickers. The layered, cinematic richness of the video belies its disturbing content and serves to underscore the indomitable power of the human spirit. |

Conversations is a sound driven video that reflects upon the fragility, humor, and pain of the human condition. Designed as a projection, the video is punctuated by a series of black frames that periodically plunge the viewer into darkness, disrupting the flow of imagery and immersing them in the sound composition by John Holland. Shot in Cambodia, the video concludes with historic footage of the Cambodian killing fields (Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh). |

The set was co-designed by Denise Marika and David Zinn.
