24 Hour Vlog
“24 Hour Vlog” is a 24 hour video compilation of my parent’s YouTube history, often lifestyle and food vlogs set in the Philippines as they view from their home in Texas. While the subject matter itself seems to be of mundane snippets (elevators going up and down, price tags on clothes, grocery store hauls), the sentiment speaks to the Filipino American diaspora and the connection of our homeland through the hand-held camera filmed and posted by everyday people.
Kiana Fernandez
Kiana Fernandez is a Filipina-American interdisciplinary artist focusing on the scavenging of hypersignification and hope in our physical and digital existence. Working across the boundaries of video, photomontage, crowdsourcing, and found materials, she attempts to recompose everyday experiences with divine importance. She suggests that these seemingly small occurrences speak to the culture at large, that there is a constant search for meaning and simple love.
