“The Body Electric presents itself as a YouTube-styled pop video but it is equally a proto-totalitarian spandex anthem to the New India.”

I love this piece because it uses documentary to bring you inside of a simulated interrogation situation and at the same time turns a critical eye toward the larger patriarchal dynamics of war. 

A two channel installation with day on one side and night on the other with a continuously tracking shot on visible rails shot over eleven days. Shot in worker camps in the United Arab Emirates. Beautiful and political all at once.

A young man wearing camouflage paint leans over a basin of water and slowly removes the paint with his amputated forearms. This piece specifically refers to the struggle against the manufacture and distribution of cocaine in Colombia with the coca leaves in the background but could easily be viewed as a universal meditation on the horrors of war.

A one man boyband singing a lovely pop rendition of Elizabethan music. Very catchy.  http://www.nemerofsky.ca/i-am-a-boyband

Children telling dreams such as being chased by giant candy bars yelling “eat me!” or seeing a friend drink his own blood from a bathtub. Interesting that the children are sharing their dreams in front of an audience of classmates, you can tell they’re trying to entertain and each ends up like a sort of case study in approaches to entertainment using humor, violence, fantastical imagery, etc.
