The creative video response for the Huffington Post’s book review of "Welcome to Braggsville" by T. Geronimo Johnson, as a runner-up in their fellowship program. The outcome of this challenge is this unsettling video that I produced departing from the book’ storytelling line and the Huffington Post’s review.

The video investigates a dimensional view on the psychological self and that of the collective. Through an abstract lens, I am exploring the stereotypes of the human experience. I am looking at what identity is when it is constructed based on a sense of superiority. The video asks for a relation to the spirit, and invites the viewer to an experience beyond that of social circumstances. Here, time dilates or accelerates, resisting the present and trying to reveal more of reality’s subtleties. The video registers these moments inside others moments that are rich in substance, and reimagine historical moments and monologues between representation and response.
