Archaeology and You

  • Run time: 7 min
  • Premiere: 2004. November 24.

A five-part, site-specific installation and single-channel videotape. The piece manipulates shards of narrative into a meditation on the construction of self and culture through language. Archaeology and You juxtaposes historical theory with ever-timely questions such as “What do we have to say?” and “Why do we bother writing it down?”
