The featured archived footage exhibited here was filmed between 1990 and 1999. Between my ages of 13 and 22. I wanted to re-appropriate this footage from my adolescence to study the sometimes reckless, chaotic, transgressive natures of youth. This fragile time carves individual pathways for thought progression in some individuals and/or contrasting behavioral patterns in future adulthoods in others. I am finally digitizing the nearly 120 hours of personal VHS footage I have acquired since I was 10 years old.
