What Pleasure is the Feast Without the Cabbage
Title: What Pleasure Is The Feast Without The Cabbage (2022). Single channel video, 00:04:11, silent
In this short film, archived footage, a digitally animated golden cabbage, and fictional text meld together to form a narrative steeped in political symbolism and slang interpretations of the humble cabbage. Its narrative probes the feelings of intellectual inferiority perpetuated by inherited notions of class, and how elevating the value of something humble can shift deeply entrenched perceptions.
The work confronts expectations of new media technology ; rather than striving for digital perfection, it embraces the absurd, the glitchy and the humorous.
