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.
