The Good Life

Based on the biblical story of Nebuchadnezzar's Dream from the Book of Daniel, "The Good Life" traces the history of middle-class commodity culture through a collage of video, stop-motion animation, and sound. This piece takes the viewer through the the development of the 'Fordist dream,' it's rapid, unsustainable crescendo, and the aftermath. Numerous references to world mythologies further a tone that is simultaneously dream-like and rooted in the everyday.
