Curated Videos

Where to start?

When coming into contact with an unknown body of work, it can be helpful to be eased into it by first experiencing shorter, more widely known, less polemical or intense works – a sort of “Greatest Hits” if you will.
Since I haven’t yet uploaded all of my video works, this list will definitely change over time.

Another problem I face compiling this list, is the extreme formal diversity of my videos – of which a small sampling might give the first-time-viewer a completely inaccurate impression of my work in general.
Despite the formal diversity of the videos, there is a fundamental philosophy and consistent themes which underpin all of my video work. I urge you to read my texts. The extremely different video forms are just different ways of approaching the same ideas and questions.

For now, I have created some completely arbitrary formal categories of videos so that the viewer will have a better idea of what to expect. These categories are also bound to change; but in the meantime, here are my recommendations for first-timers.
