My Eyes Were Like the Stars

Single-channel video. 9 minutes. 2001. A collaboration with Hugo Glendinning.
Performed by Cathy Naden.

The video shows the performer’s drunken attempt to speak a text that she has previously memorised. Concentrating on her laughter, and her growing incoherence, the video more or less omits the original text, focusing instead on the performer’s struggle to speak and deliver ‘what is expected’ for the camera.
