Constellations


Constellations is an ongoing video project consisting of multiple vignettes dealing with organizational structure and function of various groups. These 1 to 3 minute pieces draw from a collection of digital video footage cataloged over the past four years.

The subject of these pieces includes everything from firefly mating signals to an street riot.

The Constellations series deals with notions of power, ownership, and the idea of incorporated capital. The individual sacrifices certain freedoms by incorporating itself into a larger organization. Though this amalagimation its potentially stronger than the lone individual, the group's function is minimally impacted by the function/desire of the individual.

This universal dilemma is omnipresent; it can be found in everything from multi-national corporate structures to flocks of birds to organizations of single cell organisms.
