| Still from Backyard Adversaries, 2011, a four channel surround sound video installation. |
Backyard Adversaries by Lisa Kirk is a randomly sequenced HD video installation projected with the Optoma TH 1020 on to four screens, and explores a variety of narrative possibilities in a surround soundscape. Shot in the historic Hudson Valley with four children who improvised an incredible story, the work serves as a critique of recent political events where the children are the protagonists in a game of war, playing dress-up in the midst of a lush and dramatic landscape. Kirk’s practice investigates the contradictions of consumerism and the aestheticiation of what she finds "radical political signifiers" that reference current events through the veils of contemporary media.
CAMERA MAN Matthew Williams ONLINE EDITOR'S Fernando Feria Garibay and Nick McGovern SOUND DESIGN Filipe Chagas and Paul Geluso.
