‘Big Movie Star’
Video, 00:07:17 (looped), 2025

Our Big Movie Star had a hard time adjusting to all the Talk Talk Talk! in the talking pictures, so her well-meaning, penny-pinching agent suggested she “try sing the words instead of sayin’ ’em!” — grinning like a fox in feathers.

“Money has to be made! If you don’t make it on the silver screen, you hoof it on the stage. If not on stage then on the street. But, sweets you won’t catch this fool poundin’ the sidewalk – Ha!”

Organ music: by Ian Marquez Garcia; Camera assisstance: Njaay Mame Saliou Assile, Matteo Houdjal; Light assisstance: Erin Mcclain; Sound Mix: Rick Haring; Poster painting: Alyona Baranoff

Thank you to Natalia Papaeva, Maria Barnas and Clare Butcher for your guidance in this project.

...I’m terribly homesick I say to you and you say I live right around the corner. I say that’s not what I mean and you say I would be home tomorrow dizzy now from the overflowing spit in my mouth.

I could not tell if your eyes were open or closed, if you were awake or dozing off already. Dizzy the day after dizzy realizing that I had fallen asleep...

Poem ‘Pickpocket’ for W139 together with bring your own book, 2023

...I wish I had the hands - had the hands - had the hands - had the hands - of a father.

To look to myself and to cup what is shapeless, to look to another and to leave what is shapeless. To love what leaves no loving, to look at something long enough...

...I want to eat the sun and the moon I want to eat the water they rest on.
I want to eat them without a spoon,
with my fingers.
No, I don't want to have fingers.

I want to be the sun and the moon
I want to be the sun and the moon
and the water they rest on...
