Nice To See Ya! (Shakes)
“Nice To See Ya! (Shakes)” is a video piece that plays on the front door of The Residency Project, an artist house in Pasadena, CA. This piece demonstrates the ways that humans make physical connections similar to that of the fungi kingdom (mycelia). The piece draws inspiration from stock footage often used in prescription drug and business-related advertisements, and considers their hyper focus on intimate connections that are not noticed outside of domestic or professional spaces. The site-specific placement of the video on the house’s front door draws back the metaphorical curtain of the domestic space, revealing interpersonal interactions that typically may not be seen in public.
The piece will be displayed from sunset to midnight every day for the duration of the Biennial.
