To an old celluloid film box sicks a note to be from the estate of Jack Goldstein. The S8 footage seems to be a film document, which hardly can be interpreted. Place, time and authorship cannot be dated and due to the missing data the viewer will be kept in mystery. Owing to this circumstances the investigations are still running.

Shot on location at Biosphere 2 and in the surrounding Arizona desert, Lo-Fi Green Sigh is a playful pastiche of science fiction movie conventions, scored to ominous electronic drones. Residents of an imagined society don makeshift space-suits and play badminton among the cacti, while Lucas scans the electromagnetic spectrum with a vegetable steamer. Lo-Fi Green Sigh merges B-movie science and science fiction, with echoes of Roswell, alien life, and extra-terrestrial feedback. Synopsis courtesy of EAI.

Read My Lips is a video piece which addresses the role of language as a method of communication. I worked with speech pathologist Beatrice Dulgarian to decipher the words being “spoken” by each fish. By using a speech pathologist to “read” the fish’s lips, I draw attention to the use of language and interpretation within our society.

Sugardaddy is about money, freedom and the sometimes desperate scramble to make ends meet. I am commenting on endless conversations about the hegemony of landlords, the cost of real estate and rents as well as my own fantasies about becoming rich. My money fantasies range from being independently wealthy to finding a sugar daddy who will support me but not control me. Sugardaddy also considers the question, "Does money buy happiness?"

A US nuclear submarine crashed into an undersea mountain that rose up to within 100 feet of the ocean’s surface. In the film, I investigate the narrative of the crash within the space of a desert landscape in New Mexico. The film explores the metaphysical link between a Western culture based on subjectivity and a Western adaptation of an Eastern spiritual practice based on paradox.
