In The Hitchcock Trilogy, Tajiri uses Bernard Hermann's evocative scores for Hitchcock's films to create a compelling series of deconstructive "meta-narratives." Collapsing these emblematic scores with her own texts, she creates a layered "hall of mirrors" of stories within stories, using the...
The Hollow Coin explores roles of authority in public space and the intersection of personal and historical narratives. The video combines documentary footage of New York City’s rapidly disappearing network of payphones with audio of a covertly recorded telephone exchange between an actor and an unknowing bystander.
In this music video, which operates as a meditation on contemporary Chinese history, Yau Ching combines found images and text to negotiate between idealism and propaganda and the hopes and disillusionment that they bring.
Beloff’s three-channel film incorporates staged reenactments and two archival films—Motion Studies Application and Folie a Deux—both industrial productions from the early 1950’s. Motion Studies teaches workers to maximize their efficiency through small movements, and Folie a Deux demonstrates how to identify the titular psychiatric disorder. Together, the films present the extremes of the productive and unproductive body and study their respective choreographies. A third sequence, inspired by slapstick productions, sets the two previous films into dialectical motion by depicting an office setting wherein objects take on a life of their own. As the materials mysteriously float, spin, and spill over, they disrupt the order of capitalist productivity.

Writes Antin: "Applying hair to her face, the artist moves through a variety of bearded faces seeking the identity most appropriate to her facial structure and satisfying to her aspirations." Antin transforms herself into a man and adopts one of her recurring performance personae, "The King."
The artist's Ballerina Self, now in the city, has "made it!" Dressed in a tutu, Antin regales an utterly silent gallery audience with her strategy for conquering New York, meeting George Ballanchine in Sardi's and becoming prima ballerina of the company. The climax of the routine is a dramatization (with Antin taking all of the parts) of the ballet she imagines, with sets by Picasso, music by Stravinsky and a scratchy violin as accompaniment.
Constance DeJong's writing is closely connected to performance. Here DeJong reads The Lucy Amarillo Stories, while a musician performs a Philip Glass composition on the harmonica. The two performers interact attentively, the musician emphasizing passages in DeJong's text with the intensity of Glass's score. The reading develops as an atmospheric telling of the story of a young woman who leads a lonely life in New York, truly living only when she dreams.
