The Exhaustion Series (2015 - 2018)

I first began making these exhaustion videos as a college student, in the midst of my three year chemotherapy treatment for Lymphoma. I trace my interest in time back to my experiences with cancer, when I first began to reflect on the beauty and sadness of endurance, or acts of resistance. In The Exhaustion Series, I ask each participant to perform one specific task until they are completely exhausted. The camera runs from the first motion, until they can no longer continue.
