    Familiar - A video installation by artist: Joanne Bristol
    Opening Reception and Artist Slide/Talk: Tuesday, May 22nd at 8:00 pm
    For The Little Gallery I am presenting a new video installation dealing with conversations between "culture" and "nature". Entitled “Familiar”, the installation focuses on relationships between humans and domesticated animals. It depicts how ideas of "nature" are culturally constructed, and how the representation of animals is often an act of human anthropomorphism. Imagining the perspectives and knowledges of animals can lead us to a decentering of human epistemologies. I am interested in imagining or proposing relationships based on hybridity and the post-human, rather than the control-and-management paradigms which currently dominate human and animal liaisons.
    As in my previous video installations, the work will be structured through a set of associative narratives that draw the viewer into the work as if it were a kind of "walk-in novel". The fiction proposed in this new installation is also a manifestation of the pre-production (script-writing and auditioning) phase of a film entitled “Comfy Hostage”*, that I am concurrently creating. The installation consists of a series of production photos, a script and a video projection depicting auditioning and filming processes. You could say Familiar is about the difficulties encountered in the production of a "nature" documentary. It is also a tragic and comic work about a girl, her house, and her housecat.
    * "Comfy Hostag" will be a 20-minute experimental narrative containing a series of vignettes on themes of freedom, containment, culture and nature. The projected completion date for the film is spring 2003.” Joanne Bristol
