"May none of us rest as we live our dying. May we not forget but actually do the work of reckoning with the still uncounted, of the crimes of the endless war we are still in" –Jill H. Casid, critical theorist. "Claiming the Liminal Space" takes inspiration from Jill H. Casid's above quote in a continuation of "The Pandemic Series" project, which recontextualizes characters from my previous works into hypnotic visual essays about the transfiguring of interiority during periods of isolation and fear. This video looks at the insurgency of January 6, 2021, and how fears and lies built over the course of the pandemic gives way to rage on all fronts, exposing the effects of QAnon doom scrolling, and despicable wanna-be despots. --Label design by exhibit curator Nancy DeJoy.
