(Lucky Me from Sophie Nathan on Vimeo.)
Graduate, Goldsmiths.
The ongoing project Lucky Me, concentrates on notions of expectations, success, and agency and looks at the life of an alternate Sophie Nathan, the “lucky” Sophie Nathan who has achieved everything she has ever wanted. The video I intend to show, illustrates the start of this project and hopes to give a sense of the work, and where I hope to take it. Recorded using lo-tech devises, ensuring instant access to an alternate reality, Lucky Me allows me to play through possibilities that exist elsewhere, and test my own expectations, hopes and desires for them. Lucky Me will eventually include real/false performative elements mixed with text, photography and sculptural object to re/create an alternate biography.
I am really interested in alternate ways of viewing this piece. Does the convenyor feel it is best seen as a video, in a dark room with all eyes on it. Is it a live-piece with the lucky Sophie Nathan appearing on stage, is it a photo montage, static work, could it be a book? How would lucky Sophie Natha produce it? At this stage I am feeling my way through live-art and would value any comments and critique on its reception as well as production.
