Magnificent Obsessions

An assembled collage, with footage drawn from a variety of seemingly unrelated sources: memories stored on YouTube profiles and cell phone cameras, clips from classic melodramas and sitcoms. Taking inspiration from Douglas Sirk’s film, the project explores tropes of false identity, blindness, and desire within the context of a lurid Hollywood melodrama.
