Working with a thirty second clip taken from a digitized family video, this project explores the complexity of mediated memory and the idea of an authentic self. The video and audio were carefully recreated before being edited together with the original using a variety of software and processes. Involving painstaking frame by frame manipulation and motion tracking the piece reveals the often hidden processes of video analytics. The two diptychs are installed opposite one another with a single channel audio playing. The simultaneous unity and disconnection between the four channels speaks to the mutability of memory and the haunting of trauma.
