Aberrations is a three-part series of two-channel video works that excavates the unstable terrain of belief, spectacle, and social control. Each pairing interrogates a distinct site of cultural fixation: Aberrations 1.1 / 1.2 probe the ecstatic fervour and coercive seduction of religious cults; Aberrations 2.1 / 2.2 delve into the shadowy architectures of conspiracy theory, where paranoia and narrative invention collide; and Aberrations 3.1 / 3.2 confront the entanglements of sex, religion, and hypocrisy, exposing the fractures between public morality and private desire.
Constructed entirely from found and appropriated footage, the works operate in the interstices of the authentic and the fabricated, questioning how images circulate, accrue authority, and manipulate collective consciousness. The split-screen format produces dissonance and resonance simultaneously, forcing the viewer into a space of comparison, contradiction, and doubt.
Aberrations unfolds as both archive and aberration: a critical re-assemblage of cultural detritus that unsettles dominant narratives, while foregrounding the power of the moving image to both reveal and distort truth.
