Scribe TV

This work questions the notion of the self and explores the inability to imagine an instance or essence of it. The video utilizes a piece of literature, with a character whose name is also Stephanie, to create an indeterminacy between the fact and fiction of identity. The Borgesian Conundrum, of whether the writer writes the story or it writes him, is taken further to investigate whether the story is told by the speaker, or the speaker is told by the story. In the video, I flow in and out of fictional narrative and the self-referential, causing the work to fold back in on itself. This reflects a sense of narrative non-linearity and the idea that copying disseminates a visual self which is based upon a self that is already a deception itself.
