  • speaking of mongrels - Jews/cosmopolitanism

23.05.22 - Rosella (G-Zi, V01)

  • pacing is different or inbalanced - could be more consistent or intentional
  • seems to be propelled by action - what if there's more non-space e.g. like the saucepan boiling, there's a lot of overlapping information
  • it's described as a performance - what if the video was a one shot lasting the duration of the cooking?
  • is moving away from first person perspective necessary? It disrupts the immersion. Can it be a more extreme disruption?
  • possibility that this is a prolonged period of artistic research and documentation leading to a work which is more 'mediated'or formally considered

  • Bodily movements
  • Restraint/excess controlled
  • embedded history
  • considering your own position in relation to where yuour from - meal as a portal to the past to relate to family - to tell the story of hiding in plain sight - you should do a few more - get richer thicker - connections will start to appear - & the characterisation of yourself will grow stronger as well -
  • you're a medium since you're relaying what you heard in another place - youre channeling something from the past - it's all embodied through the voice -
  • connections - where am i and what's my place - amongst all these conflicting discourses - is it enough just to regurgitate existing text - is it a way to construct an identity - its an exploration of these things - i thin theres something about in/authenticity a very high form of art

  • 'Argo' with Jon Goodman and Ban Affleck - lots of typecasting etc.
