An Elegy to Our Small Selves

Anita Wen-Shin CHANG 2002 U.S. Experimental b/w 10min English
Originally conceived as a multimedia performance, this piece attempts to link the disappearing worlds of animal and human.Interfacing the "disappearing" technologies of Super-8mm and 16mm image projection, with the immediacy and reality of video, "captivated" images of animals and humans in raw form are juxtaposed and documented in a way that speaks to an identity crisis of the human race and ultimately to the fragility of beauty, nature and humanity.
