Description
-
A seven-channel video installation by Latipa, then working as Michelle Dizon, from her ongoing series on imperialism, neocolonialism and globalization in the Philippines. Footage shot over four years in the Philippines is combined with archival film, philosophical, political and literary texts and field recordings, moving through sites near former U.S. military bases, multinational resource extraction, with chapters on mining, fishing and banana plantation labor, and war-torn regions of the southern Philippines.
Developed as a Lab Artist project at 18th Street Arts Center, Santa Monica, and curated there by Pilar Tompkins Rivas, it was shown from June 18 to September 7, 2012, and was also presented as a live performance with narration and a live score at the Hammer Museum during Made in L.A. 2012. The artist later founded the Memory and Resistance Laboratory at UC Riverside.
