live performance

the reversal of lip-sync

(2006, 16:29, via youtube.com)
This is video documentation of a live performance mimicking the misappropriation of singin' in the rain video. A glamorous video version of me as a singing pop star is projected on a large rear projection screen.   Behind the screen, the live character, played by me, stands stoically performing the vocals for the fraudulent screen diva. This live character is raw and vulnerable, the epitome of lack, wrapped head to toe in bandages and corrective braces of all sorts. The projection screen provides the live character with a threshold to an ideal image of herself...an ideal she will desperately strive for and never attain.
