I laugh while crying
(2019)
Accompanying publication to the video project Has anyone ever cried anything other than tears? in which texts were sourced fromwww.quora.com, an online forum for crowd sourcing answers to questions that vary vastly in subject matter and are often posted anonymously. Excessive questions about loneliness, narcissism, longing, and misogyny are contrasted with questions about gym regularity, dietary control, dog care, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Some of the questions suggest a societal vulnerability, and are tinged with the depressions, latent panic, and self doubts that a society of attention has exposed, whilst others are humorous, light hearted, or preposterous.
Here the texts are gathered in to a smaller, more personal format that allows for a slower pace of reading and reflection, forming absurd little poems.
