Statement
Me is a sit-com length video that contains an array of interchangeable
characters contemplating the world in that old world performance of
conversation. Discussing such things as life, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
Snapchat, Tupac, holograms, the death of Myspace, Friendster, Andy
Warhol, CCTV, reality TV, handbags, viagra, The Simpsons, The Smiths,
the internet and internet dating from a script based upon Sylvesters art
work titles, song lyrics, short stories and interviews forming a self-portrait
that reflects us all. The characters in Me are a present day Adam and Eve --
branded and stranded.
Self-image is a curated phantom. We identify and like others that are
similar to us, collecting and sharing opinions that slowly become so similar
that as characters we end up interchangeable. In these narcissistic times
what better way to view self-portraiture than one that reflects the viewer as
well. We all want to see ourselves, don't we?
