Toby Kaufmann-Buhler
VIDEFILMOTEXTS (Self-Surveillance)
March - April 2015
Originally working from library books, the VIDEFILMOTEXT series takes a generational approach: beginning with text, moving to Super-8 film, and finally becoming video. As part of the Self-Surveillance project, Toby Kaufmann-Buhler mines these text sources with the goal of finding and developing new relationships among very different parts (and many generations) of his family. The soundtracks for these videos echo this deconstructive and reconstructive process, consisting of manipulated and treated musical saw. You can watch the entire series on the artist’s website.
