Re-familiarization
(2018 -)
As a way to expose myself to new views within the neighborhoods I already “know” and frequent in Los Angeles, I chose to navigate through the streets using an alternative method of transportation to cars. I rolled around wearing the same dress in various neighborhoods, forming both a new cognitive map of the city and a physical map made up of the debris that would attach to my dress. The rolling action additionally serves as a never-ending loop. It is a movement with neither beginning nor end, thus allowing for a disjointed continuity as the video cuts on the action between various locations.
This is an on-going project with several neighborhoods left to roll around in.
