GOOD GRIEF
Single channel video
7:26 minutes 2011
GOOD GRIEF is part of an
ongoing investigation into the processes that deal with loss and grieving as an attempt to
regain a sense of control and ownership of the self. This video is one part of
a larger installation that aims to open up
notions of societal resistance surrounding the actuality of death and explores
the personal experience of human grief in its stages through aggressive,
cathartic, comedic and masochistic measures. These performative rituals
are symbolic of the devices or acts that one conjures in order to
reconstruct life after death, enabling one’s self to keep on living.︎︎︎
