Dystopia: The Humanity of a Modern Pandemic
Dystopia: The Humanity of a Modern Pandemic is a series of monochromatic videos where I am examining my moods, feelings, thoughts, and takeaways from the start of isolation due to COVID19. Each video, staged as a photograph with few moving elements, contains one geometric sculpture made of business cards, filmed to enlarge its 4 inch scale. I refer to the sculptures as objects, each one isolated into a dark simulated landscape, representing the consciousness of my own mind. The same isolated feelings that traveling through space would seemingly give me. The ambient sounds of the videos are a mixture of recordings taken from my environment, such as the constant sound of construction or my dishwasher running, along with ominous tones designed in an audio editing software. As the month of April progressed, my videos shifted with my emotional responses to the social and political climate.
