The Baghead Chronicles
Erika Jaeggli and I collaborated to produce The Baghead Chronicles: two experimental digital video shorts in DVD format. "Mr. Baghead Takes a Good Look at Himself" and "Mr. Baghead Goes to Work for the Last Time" play with the relationship between video/audio, invert filmic conventions regarding facial expressions, and explore branching narratives. Both projects feature a protagonist with a brown paper bag for a head.
