Sweet Vidalia
video 2002, 3min
Explores the polarity between consumption and desire. Two people eat a raw onion, leaving a lasting impression. This video examines the whole process of peeling, holding it and savoring it regardless of emotional appreciation and disgust. A touch and feel of the onion on the face. Peeling the layers, taking a bite and caressing the face hard then light with the juices of the first bite. The person may smile or grimace or be hesitant, like a kiss, the first kiss, as to covet; its sweetness becoming a gross interpretation of losing ones self in the act. The mystery may unravel into an interesting self-portraiture of longing and desire. Physical action between the two onion eaters become a symbolic analogy of repetitious sentences going through one's head, examining the endless conversation, this rugged terrain. Interesting jumble of simple movement and complex meaning plays together with computerized text through the process.
