Kobolds' Gesänge
Klaus vom Bruch
1986, 5:10 min, color, sound

Kobolds' Gesänge is a starkly reductive and hypnotic work, structured around a single charged image. Vom Bruch's torso is inscribed with a rotating communications satellite, creating a composite image that metaphorically describes a collapse of the private and public space of mass media. This...

Kon Kon
Cecilia Vicuña

In this self-described "documentary-poem," Vicuña returns to the beaches of Concón, Chile – the birthplace of her artmaking, where the sea is dying and an ancient tradition is being wiped out. Concón – facing the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere, Aconcagua – is home to a cultural...

Laundry Detergent (Cheers!)
Jake Brush  
2023, 7:23 min, color, sound, HD video

Laundry Detergent (Cheers!) (2023) stages a Real Housewives-esque interaction between three nouveau riche laundry detergent heiresses, each sporting a haphazardly-pinned blonde wig and makeup smeared across their drooping synthetic skin. The video encompasses core facets of American reality TV: egregious wealth, familial trauma and alcoholism, tactical self-mythologizing, bitter interpersonal conflict, and fleeting moments of human connection. The work re-stages contemporary tragedies and family gossip in a setting where curious engagement precedes moral judgment.

Leaf of Life
Ilana Harris-Babou 
2022, 17:41 min, color, stereo, HD video

In Leaf of Life, Harris-Babou imagines an alternate reality where the tropes of wellness culture are disrupted by the healing potential of Black self-determination. The artist takes inspiration from conspiracy theories, diet gurus, and biblical quotes, among others. The video combines reflection on the legacy of Dr. Sebi, a Honduran health guru with a significant following of Black Americans, with DIY home cooking tutorial footage and interview-style conversation with the artist’s sister, who works as a nurse. The work combines fiction with personal and shared stories of loss and neglect in the US healthcare system.
