A MEmorial to Someone (2018)

"A memorial to someone" is an exploration of the medium of true crime film and celebrity biography films as a reflection of a social perspective on the handling of death. Within the work the artist embodies multiple archetypes familiar to these mediums, such as the mother, or the investigator, and borrows this as a form of language. Throughout the various characters deliver lines taken out of the reference media, all of which are descriptive of the individual being memorialized. These lines are ordered to create a familiar narrative, however it is one delivered with no identifiers of the victim beyond "she". The work is then situated in the context of a domestic space, questioning the space in which these types of materials are accessed, through an image of a living room which has the space of the television screen cut out so that the video piece playing behind it fills the space. There is a sense of humour, uneasiness and overt construction.
