For our next project, we’re working on a video that we’ll shoot in January that will be part a video installation show we’ll be installing in LA in late February. We’ve been researching refugees and are particularly taken with the architecture of the burdens you see in almost every image: groups of people with towers of necessities and belongings. We are interested in what contemporary Americans might carry along if they were forced to evacuate. What “stuff” would be worth piling on our heads, backs and shoulders; what would we want to take with us for the next life?
