'The Way we Were' VHS was a holiday park caravan production. Myself and my younger sister dance and sing while blue screen technology transcends us into a hypnotic and abstract space. The song 'The One that I Want' from the musical 'Grease', reflects my ongoing interest in the way everyday life can become inspirational and anywhere can suddenly become a stage.
This footage is an important document within my personal archive. It often acts as a point of departure for my recent performative art practice. It acts as hyper-relic of childhood, in the digital age, where we perform for the camera. This work hopes to engage children due to its playful and colourful style. It also wishes to provoke disscussion between those of us who notice the dramatic shift into the digital formats and how this effects our relation to memory and the places.
