Jo’s 90
Jo’s 90 (2023) Single Channel Video.
1 hour 30 minutes, colour, silent.
A 90-minute film inspired by science fiction narratives where vast swaths of knowledge are instantaneously absorbed via an external device. In each of the 90 scenes I pose in a different outfit, creating a distinct fantasy persona against 90 scenes selected from my archive of found footage. Accompanying texts describe 90 ‘facts’ stripped from their original contexts, underscoring a process of fragmentation and reassembly of information. Animated brains proliferate with each frame and each piece of acquired knowledge, gradually overwhelming the screen and obscuring the backdrops.
