Artwork title : Good Night My Love

This is a three-channel video installation, 2024.  

The installation consists of three video recordings of conversations between the artist (performing under different identities) and a romance scammer (or catfish) pretending to be Matt Berninger of US rock band The National. 

As the conversations proceed, the fan-rockstar relationship becomes irrelevant, revealing a deeper need for connection. Often mundane, but usually affectionate and loving, and in one case involving online sex, the conversations are ultimately about the identities we create for ourselves on online platforms, the manipulativeness on online connections, longing for connection and escapism in a fantasy world. The work can also be considered a piece of endurance performance, as the conversations took place daily for about three months and the full videos run over one hour each. (Note: the website only allowed me to submit one piece)
