2 minutes to midnight - an extravaganza

Generation Loss

Category: Film
City, Country: Columbus, Ohio, United States of America
This found footage film, made mostly of footage of subcultures and club cultures as they progress from organic to commodified, reflects ideas of repurposing and anti-capitalist work in both its physical form and its inspirations. (Found footage is an excellent tool of media re-use for people looking to make art. It questions both ideas of ownership and access.) In "Generation Loss," I explore the duality of physical and cultural media as it ages. We snap from visually deteriorating footage to increasingly commercialized versions of life and style. I ask: How does this reflect the idea of capitalism's conforming of individuality?
