POP | Video Excerpt |
2006
Two Channel Video; Super 8 transfer to digital video & digital video
POP is a two channel video installation that articulates the relationship of a father and daughter.
Shot using super 8 film, (on the Left Channel) the father sings the popular 1955 Filipino Love song “Ang Tangi Kong Pag Ibig" (My Only Love). Smiling and sitting in the front of a fenced garden, he sings the song while sounds of the super 8 camera, birds chirping, dogs barking, and ambulances are heard in the background.
Playing along side it and shot in digital video, the second channel attempts to replicate the first. The artist is dressed in the same shirt as her father and sits in the same position while seamlessly lip-sinking to the audio of her father singing.
Because the father was shot in super 8, the audio had to be recorded separately and as a result he moves in and out of sink with the audio and his daughter.
