In Yellow House, I asked my eight roommates to engage in their everyday activities within their rooms of our giant yellow college house, while I recorded them. The video vignettes are presented simultaneously in one large frame to offer the viewer unique insights into the spaces we have created for ourselves (myself, as the artist, included), to acknowledge the relationships between us and our giant house. The audio jumps randomly from room to room to give a taste of the immersive environment of each space.


In connection to Yellow House, Places visually shows ambiguous spaces within the college home while audio clips recorded by all nine housemates play. The questions posed to my roommates for recording asked for reflection on how we connect to our ten year old selfs now and feelings about upcoming graduation as college seniors. In contrast to Yellow House, the audience gets to hear the introspective thoughts and voices of the house residents, without identifying the speaker.
