Teenage Wasteland

 

Teenage Wasteland – Fiction/Installation –  3 minutes 30 seconds – 2009

      

In Teenage Wasteland (video), a 32 year-old male, acted by myself, travels in a waking slumber, through the routine of the stagnant everyday.  The surreal wonderment and decay of the man’s surroundings cannot penetrate the psyche of a man who exists just to exist.  The man’s space disintegrates through a series of lo-fi illusions. The atrophied psyche awakens slightly to be seduced by his own giant fleshy hand that spins seductively in the man’s living room.  One can only presume that the two characters will join for a pleasurable, non-productive, moment in time.
