Cathode Garden

(2015)

Digital Video (color); 8 minutes, (2015)

Sound Collage: Janie Geiser
Sound Mix: Kari Rae Seekins

A young woman moves between light and dark, life and death; a latter day Persephone. The natural world responds accordingly. Neglected negatives, abandoned envelopes, botanical and anatomical illustrations, and found home-made recordings re-order themselves, collapsing and re-emerging in her liminal world.

Janie Geiser’s gift for cutting between private, encoded images to create dense montages that defy ready interpretation, as vibrant as ever in Cathode Garden. “
