UNTITLED

October 2020

For this piece, I wanted to dive into footage from the past. I found some home movie footage in the Prelinger Archives, and was interested on how similar these videos were to videos we would film now. I compiled them into this video set to a melancholy waltz to invoke a feeling of nostalgia. This piece shows that from the invention of the video camera, people have had the desire to document their everyday lives, from their child's birthday party to a day at the park or a fair.
