In both personal and artistic relationships, partners compromise and reciprocate in such ways that they give and take portions of each other to form an external identity that satisfies the demands of each individual.
This series of short videos explore the idea of the coalescent relationship by isolating our daily rituals which manifest into a "third person." Further, the term "relationship" becomes abstract in itself: though categorized as a noun, all relationships are about action, no matter how subtle.
The videos describe both individual traits and the synchronization of combined habits. The imagery is intended to be slightly haphazard in which the two halves synchronize at points in an undulating pattern of "self" and "other."
A collaborative project between Justin Lewis & Keri Marion.
Currently only stills are available. Video will be online soon.

We chose to use text and simple imagery using tiny stencils to explore the ambiguity of human existence.
