Construction at Glassell School Art, Houston (DCP, 23min, Color, 2018)



Construction at the Glassell School of Art is about simultaneous work. It's about coordination and care. It's about what space looks like in the liminal zone of after conceit and before completion. This state is where the majority of construction exists. That's why I am interested in it. This digital cut utilizes split screens with abstract sound design to analogize the overwhelming effort it takes to construct such an impressive structure.

2018. 23 min. color. no dialogue.
