I AM ENGLISH, I AM ENGLISH - 2007

A two-screen ten minute video loop.

The performers have a clipped English accent. As they speak, the conversation becomes equally combative and ridiculous as each person mimics the other - stereotypes abound. I consider myself a ‘benign’ foreigner and I often reflect on this benign-ness when I consider the trials of some immigrant groups in the United States. The project may be ridiculous, but I am trying to say something quite serious.
