Performing Foe
2009
A sequel to my video Foe, in which I received voice accent lessons from a acting coach, this time I have taken on the role of teacher and begun to instruct my students on how to enunciate and speak in the accents of my cultural backgrounds. The video features a group of students standing before me like a choir, reciting sounds that become abstracted in their repetition. The work plays on the notion of pedagogy through mimicry and disguise.
