Two channel video, 17:40”, 2021
The Canaries is a two-channel video installation that investigates how memory is held, lost, and manipulated. It uses 40 Hz flickering light—believed to stimulate brain activity linked to resisting Alzheimer’s—to bypass language and work directly through sensory perception. Anchored by the metaphor of the “canary in a coal mine,” the piece connects personal memory loss to broader systems of political erasure and environmental crisis.
Through layered footage and repeated, shifting loops, the work reflects on what is remembered, what is suppressed, and the warning signals we fail to heed.
