This work presents an ironic collision between the natural and the foreign with
regard to both technology and displacement. iPhones are compared to
primitive stone tools in a vitrine. An accompanying video shows a young
woman (always without her face showing), walking around a city
carrying a stone tool similarly to the way one would carry a cell phone,
in plain view. In another video piece, the edge of an Macbook Air laptop, with ax handle attached, is
sharpened using traditional hand-sharpening techniques with a wet stone.
Then an apple is sliced in half to demonstrate its sharpness. The laptop is also on display in a vitrine. Another
project documents Japanese Snow Monkeys displaced to Texas.
