Representationalism, 2008

This video was shot in Paris during the summer of 2007. I hired a

Hotel de Ville. I composed the soundtrack to complement and at
times antagonize with the soundscape of the location. The work
brings up questions of mimesis, how artists choose to represent
the world through art, and ultimately why we copy European art
