Enemy of Fun

A six minute multimedia video piece of the mid 90s works that aesthetically cites affinities between 'left bank' cinema movement artists while deploying the disruptive potentials of multi-media on cinematic storytelling conventions. Enemy of Fun is broken into six short 'chapters' in which a central character 'e' narrates moments and events of her life. The character attains narrative stability through her voice-over and her singular perspective, while the images on screen create montages of various urban and natural states, images of oceans, flowers shot and manipulated through after-effects to mimic the vision of a bee, streets and buildings that bend into each-other that recall the ficto-affective bio-documentary style of Marker's Sunless and create a non- realist cinema language through evocative and affectual forms.
