Hansel and Gretel Get Kicked Out
A found-footage détournement of retail-theft surveillance, in which the criminalizing gaze of the surveillance footage is subverted by recasting capitalism as an abusive, carceral parent. Quotes transcribed from YouTube creators who were kicked out of their homes as teens are repurposed to ‘speak back’, buttressed by ‘poor’ low-resolution videos of stealing. Hansel and Gretel Get Kicked Out allegorizes capitalism—and the commodification of the self—by reconfiguring dissociated internet clips into a unified chorus of forlorn rage. Music from Flowers of Romance by Michel Henritzi.
