MMI (Seven Variations)
Synopsis
This video combines shots from a Mini DV tape I used in 2001 to layer in-camera juxtapositions without knowing where I was on the tape when I pressed record. In 2021 I started remixing this "found" footage through a combination of randomness and intention. This compilation includes seven variations.
