Multi-media installation including colored theatre lighting, wood, fabric, clothing, altered objects, lamps and furniture, collage, silkscreen prints, oil painting on canvas, acrylic painting on vintage clothing, sound, and karaoke video.
1+1-1 is a sculptural deconstruction of Jean-Luc Godard’s film One Plus One (1968) that translates the film into a non-linear, multi-media installation. 1+1-1 uses Godard’s strategies of quotation, re-iteration, and juxtaposition to revive the affect of his original political aspirations.
The room is filled with a cacophony of sound, light, color and text, celebrating the material props that mediate our communication and allow us to work with one another, whether we are making music or planning revolution.
