About The Artwork
Plantation (working title) is a new work I am developing, here are a few small clips from the 15 minute video work, which is composed of still images taken from a film I shot in Panama on Super 8 and then digital hybrid images created with the super 8 stills and a secondary digital image set. The film was shot on the plantation my mother was born on and the secondary data set is footage from the adjacent islands that cater towards drunken tourists.
