Natural Clutter
Natural Clutter aims to trigger a visceral reaction through a dialogue of audio and video imagery. By broaching the theme of clutter, the piece asks of its audience to inspect their own internal displacement. The spectator is invited to reflect upon the emotional stress that it perpetually creates, which in turn is nurtured by social and environmental disorder.
What first manifests itself as idyllic pastoral landscape with its seemingly
immaculate components will, through closer inspection, reveal the detritus
of our urban lives. Scenes of placid fields, pristine waters, and primal
fauna prove to be elusive machinations of our collective experience.
A live soundtrack of manipulated audio field recordings plays in tandem
as the video unfurls. The exercise proposes a meta-dialogue exposing the
elusive meaning of a nature indelibly tainted by our own heightened anxiety.
Biography
[sic], progeny of a lonesome bayou, was found floating down-river in a
hollow nutshell. A single coil of golden fleece adorned her cherubic
pate and a superfluous nodule compounded the delicate pink membrane of
her right ear. Having filled the legendary C-cup at the tender age of
sixteen, she found herself in the throes of a torrid love affair with
a myriad array of buttons and knobs which she has sworn to forever twiddle
and tweak. Recent projects include '...and rabbits named Friday squirrelgirl'
and 'With naïve assurance that their injuries were wrongs inflicted'
(intr-version records); soundtrack and photography for an untitled book
of short stories by Luca Tripaldi.
