Untitled (for Technically Sweet)

Untitled for Technically Sweet was originally inspired by the Antonioni script of the same title for an exhibition curated by Yvette Brackman and Maria Finn and shown at Participant Inc. NYC, and Overgaden-Institute for Contemporary Art, Copenhagen. Under the subconscious yet ever-present glow of real and psychic catastrophic events lies something even more terrifying—the natural world and its utter indifference. This two-channel video installation pits catalog-perfect natural settings with the potential for environmental devastation. On one channel the artist, her husband, and her baby attempt to have an idealic encounter with nature as they relax in a well-groomed patch of lawn surrounded by lush green mountains. On the other channel, a stampede of animals flees an unseen event. Their flight is relentless.
