HAIKU​

​

// VIDEO - 2024

​

Following the 3 part format of a haiku, this piece is an abstracted and heart felt "i love you" to a dying mall. The video was shot on a quiet weekday in the woodbine center, a place where i spent countless hours as a child, and watched shift into disarray. Haiku was filmed on an old DSLR I purchased in 2011, which was loved deeply and damaged irreversibly. Together, the space and camera tell the story of degrading consumer goods and the nostalgia of forgotten spaces.

​

Audio for the piece was created through a mix of iphone recordings from the past several years, ambient sounds from within the mall itself, and synth.

​

Visual aesthetics were achieved through masking and inversions, alongside the cameras low resolution.
