Description

In these short episodes, created while she was in Japan, Lucas is seen within a playful yet alienating landscape of global pop culture and consumerism. Snatches of radio mix with video games and sales pitches on the soundtrack, as we catch Lucas's image, distorted by surveillance cameras or fragmented by the odd angles of electronics store display monitors. In each episode, the human body threatens to recede beyond visibility, submerged in a hissing, buzzing tide of media saturation.
