Mixed media installation, dimension variable, 2009

Flip-House* is conceived in response to the current economic crisis in the US, changing living conditions globally and the state of emergency resulting from those processes. It utilizes survival strategies borrowing from communities in continuous crisis and takes the form of a house. One strategy is a form of social mimicry by which one temporarily adopts the texture of a specific place to pass for the other. Flip-House will move to different locations and will be altered each time. This process will be documented with photography and video.

Single channel video, 7 min., 2004-2005

In this video I took a portable blue screen to a public square in Sofia, Bulgaria and keyed (a process of “hole cutting”, or subtracting part of the picture) an image of it by using the seamless effect of the blue screen. The image represented my background is later transformed to a dress and became a subject of intense debate with my Bulgarian friend. Shot in Bulgaria but edited in US, Made In video explores communication between distant places and different realities. It presents two points of view of the same subject and reveals the distortions of meaning resulting from the differing contexts of the viewers. It also draws a picture of a world with a limited choice of politics. A choice between a nationalistic ideology growing in a small post-communist country, and an Imperialistic one emerging from the world’s largest economy.
