Colitis 2022
Colitis is a video triptych of distorted images overlapping panning photographs, still film negatives, and Sony Handycam footage. Four audio layers track the visualizations: my son playing the violin, me in conversation with him at 10 years old, a lecture by Gabor Maté, and a song by Buffy Sainte-Marie. The video explores my diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis as an implication of larger social conditions.
Compiled as short experimental film, the video was shown at the NY Diary Film Festival 2022 in Bushwick, NY.
