Happiest sort of Monday again, lovely little pigeons. kiss

So, as it becomes an increasingly relevant bit of my life, I'm going to take a second to talk about my videos and performances. Video and performance are the primary media I work in these days. It's where I arrived after years of drawing and sculpting and painting. I use low-pixel quality and film to reference the remote sex work industry, which has had a significant impact on the work I make. Within video art, there are two types of video that I make:

Video performances
: video documentations of live performances.
Video art pieces: videos that are intended as the final product. (not films)

The videos I make are sometimes humorous and often off-putting, compositionally lovely, political, and strange. For the most part, explore issues of gender, sex, class, race, sexuality, and vulnerability. Here are stills and brief descriptions of some of the videos I have made over the passed three years.

You Are My Milk, video performance/ceramic sculpture, May 2010

SPOILERS! (Click to view)







A live performance questioning issues of selflessness that pertain to motherhood. Milk provided by Ronny Brook Farm.



It's Almost Like Falling Down the Stairs, video art, October 2011


SPOILERS! (Click to view)




"If their hearts aren't beating, then what is?"




Sea of Love, video art/ceramic sculpture, May 2010

SPOILERS! (Click to view)






A video about the modern woman. Made with ceramic slip.



Calico, video art/documentary/ceramic sculpture, 2009

SPOILERS! (Click to view)





A documentary style video about the skin disorder vitiligo, made using slip and stop motion. Created with the help of Auriga Suicide.




I Hate A Man Like You, video performance, September 2010

SPOILERS! (Click to view)





A video about the end of my relationship with Anna. Heat, smell, rot, fashion.



I Hate The Snow Every Time Except For When We're Dancing, video art, October 2010


SPOILERS! (Click to view)




A video demonstrating my dearest friend and I as children turning to absurdism as a form of self-preservation.



40 thousand nudie pics for Sallie Mae, photo documentation of performance, Dec 2010-present

SPOILERS! (Click to view)





A performance that examines our culture's relationship to money and value. The value of the rights to most x rated photos is about $1, so for this project I am accumulating and selling 40-70 thousand to repay my debt to the SLM corporation (Sallie Mae).



There was a time when I considered posting the videos online, but at this point it's not going to happen. I have about 50 videos right now, and I'm only getting started. Maybe some day I'll post excerpts...but for now, use your imagination.

And for you in-real-life friends, if anyone ever wants to lend me their body for a video, I'll make you yummy treats and serenade you with delicious accordion music. wink

Happy Chinese New Year! Now off to make dumplings...

kiss Lou

That's a cool way to look at it. I've seen a fair share of Hopefuls breaking down and freaking out, like being a Suicide Girl is the most important thing in their lives. That patience will serve you well smile
