Bagyo

Bagyo is an exploration living in the anthropocene, as experienced in a cycle of violence and suspended tragedy. In the face of climate disaster, it contemplates what it means to move beyond what diplomat Samantha Power describes as “admiring the problem” as opposed to solving it.

Bagyo, 2018, Virtual reality sculpture and space


Vid-joke

“Vid-joke” examines the dynamics of climate discourse from a diasporic Filipino perspective. The work reimagines the role of political theatre, platitudes, and the global stage as a karaoke performance, a favorite Filipino pastime. Using the lo-fi aesthetics of karaoke videos, its highly-saturated style will be utilized to render disaster images and text by Filipino climate activists and leaders. The work invites the audience to consider the performativity of participation or inaction.
