Serves You Right, 2018

Video and sound installation.

Serves You Right! creates an

empathetic relationship

between the viewer and banal labour.

The use of sound

disorients the perspective of the

viewer, placing them at

once in the sonic perspective of the

labourer and in that of

the serving ware. This durational

video performance

explores an embodied physical

experience of labour,

drawing on audio recording

techniques employed by the

popular ASMR movement in order to

bridge physical

barriers typically established by the

screen between the

viewer and the subject.
