Like a Pig in Shit

Like a Pig in Shit

"Like a Pig in Shit" is a twenty-minute video piecing together audio and visual material found online, a collage technique common to the artist’s practice. It comprises nine movements and a spiraling, ultra-introspective, stream-of-consciousness monologue that diarizes the cumulative effects of life in the mediated, surveilled, freelance matrix.
