It was honor to support production for the brilliant Alison Nguyen’s work. We tracked down dozens of locations and pulled off an impressive schedule over two days to capture a Los Angeles fever dream.
“With humor and melancholy, the work explores the women's attempted reintegration into human society as they struggle to piece together their own memories.
Interweaving subtle references to past geopolitical violence associated with America’s war in Vietnam, the work offers a complex take on how memory, consciousness, and historical narratives merge into a shared cultural imaginary that is produced through cinematic images.” - Alison Nguyen
Produced with generous support from New York Foundation for the Arts’ 2021 Artist Fellowship in Film/Video and MIT List Visual Arts Center.
