Film Scroll

“This Super 8 film was first presented as part of a ritual performance where I am naked and pull a white piece of fabric out of myyoni, pin it up and project the film onto it from reverse, while speaking the words on the film. The performance was part of a collective recreation of Carolee Schneeman’s ‘Interior Scroll.’ Each of us did a personal variation based on her 1975 performance. Schneeman’s piece included a letter to a filmmaker who criticized her work. My ‘letter’ is to an ex-partner who criticized me and my work, leaving me with feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth. The personal is the political.” – Juliana Saragosa
