Black Light

Video 2016

Collaboration with Adreenah Wynn

This video focuses on identity and the struggles and hardships that come with these identities.  It is a continuous narrative told through different points of view from people of different backgrounds, race, gender, and sexual orientations. It highlights the specific struggles that each person has, yet it also portrays how many people can relate to the same stories.  We placed our speakers in a dark room so that the viewer would not be able to see their faces and only listen to their story. As they told their story they smeared paint on their faces making them more visible. In a way this action was bringing to light topics that they didn't really talk about.
