Fast Five, TODAY, #TheFlagWeLove
Getting obsessed with found text and found objects, I started making performance art about pop phenomena.
Fast Five: a playful reimagining of the Fast&Furious franchise without cars, a budget, or any bro-on-bro violence.
TODAY: a reenactment of NBC’s morning show using verbatim transcripts to point to the loss and paranoia behind banality.
#TheFlagWeLove: Using no actual American flags, only consumer flag merchandise, the show traces how everyday objects aestheticize control.
