Wellness Radio, Two-channel video installation, 2020
Wellness Radio fuses youtube video clips, ted talks, and meditations side by side with performative movement. Themes of capitalist infused wellness, oversaturation of information, and the psychology of motivational speaking are explored through embodied movement and absurdist gestures. What happens when you run a seemingly spiritual idea through the faucet of capitalist society, celebrity dieting, and ego-centric social media platforms? This two-channel video uses duplicity and mirroring to engage in the discussion of blind participation in cultural wellness trends and the desire to miraculously transform one’s life.
