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.
