Kiyoko's Situation articulates the deeply embedded cultural roles of Japanese women through the parallel stories of two female artists, Kiyoko and Tani. In Idemitsu's narrative-within-a-narrative, "Kiyoko's situation" is played out on a television monitor within Tani's drama. Tani is paralyzed in...
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...
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...
A visual poem performed in Concón, an ancient cultural site on the Chilean coast, where natural preserves are being destroyed by real estate expansion and oil refineries. Kon Kon Pi is a drawing in space, in sand and sea – sometimes made with a stick in sand, sometimes in lines of red wool...

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.
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.
