Surveillance Like a Hollywood Movie

Montalvo Center for the Arts
2017

Commissioned by Montalvo Center for the Arts, this film was created from footage submitted by audience who saw my 5-hour durational performance, “Where Does the Blue Sky Start/Ghosting/Witness This.” The entire live performance was inspired by my quest to perform “The Souls of Black Folk” by W.E.B. Du Bois. The film questions personal and technical systems that impact and result in surveillance, myth making, subjectivity, objectivity, and authorship.
