Found in Transition: Colleen Laird

I made this video to interact with the “Found in Transition” videographic exercise developed by the Ways of Doing initiative. As explained on the website, the exercise is “part of an exploratory series, this exercise is designed to encourage feminist citational practices in which the process is envisioned as a means of public thinking through a media object without the pressure of polish or publishing.” This exercise helped me think through the formal choices of transition I found in Nishikawa Miwa’s “Ninth Dream” contribution to the 2007 anthology “Yume Jūya (ユメ十夜).” More of an affective “vibe” than an argument, the resultant video was extremely illustrative in helping me think through my larger study of Nishikawa and her films.
