Thaumatrope

Artist's Statement
The intention of doing this video was to experiment aesthetically with 1970s decor and 1970s concepts of the future. This was done by using an artificial environment as a setting for an episode from a soap-opera. It is not meant to tell a story but to provide a glimpse into what a parallel reality could be like if it had it's own tacky soap-opera.

8 minutes, 13 seconds, 1992.
