+ Rage edit.
2025. Video projection.
Installation at All The Rage Group Show.
Using the violent emotionality of horror films and mining propaganda as horror in conjunction with the pleasurable mechanics of the Around the World music video, this work breeds an absurd dislocation of meaning. Two moving images side-by-side become jagged, unreadable and temporal. WA-isms appear throughout and blokey markers of state identity meet intinmate ultrasound footage identiyfing shadows of Endometriosis. These narrative discrepancies and awkward comparisons become a necessary convention in the horror of confusion. They also come to comment on the nature of the open-cut, a mining term and a reference to surgery. Performing surgery on appropriated footage from the news, advertising etc. is a reaction to the stress of utility and strategic propaganda. The All The Rage edit also included footage from Twin Peaks and Rage.
