ENCORE, 2024

Studies have stated that each time we recall a memory, we are actually recalling the most recent time we reminisced on that moment - a sort of mental game of telephone. Similarly, the more a VHS is viewed, the more it degrades, and the more a lossy file (like JPEG) is opened, data is lost. The common truth seems to be that the moments that we hold most precious are most likely to warp, corrupt, and disappear.

Created by compositing home video and stop motion sequences, Encore is a meditation on my childhood and the ephemerality of a moment.
