Responsory; or, when shall we Walk clumsy into the Snow of now (2021)
17 minutes, single-channel video
Created during 2021 ISSUE Project Room artist residency. In conjunction with my Fountain #2 web installation. Thanks to WNYC for the shoutout!
This video is intended to honor enslaved ancestors. It contains references to so-called “runaway slave advertisements”: notices placed in 18th and 19th century newspapers with the intention of recapturing enslaved people who escaped from those who were enslaving them.
Video available on request.
This is a video still. JJJJJerome stands holding a flute in a recording studio. Synthesizers and a lamp are behind JJJJJerome. The artist wears a gray hoodie and a red hat made by Chelsea Bravo Studio. The words “asters depend on light” appear in white over JJJJJerome’s face.
