STAR GAYZING
Installation:
Audio/Video Collage Projection & Sewn Pillows
A central piece in this show is Star Gayzing (2022) a group meditation in the form of a visual and audio collage inspired by Trinh Minh-ha’s practice of “speaking nearby.” To “speak nearby” is to acknowledge the difficulty and futility of attempting to represent everyone’s experience. To me a commitment to “speak nearby” also means a commitment to address the impacts of our gaps in understanding one another. In this piece, I talk with eight voices from my community to wreck ideas of time and reckon with its multiplicity.
