hispanocholia.
2013
In my video diptych, "hispanocholia", the goal was to evoke nostalgia of living in the old country by listening and dancing to songs that we might have listened to at a family's new year's/birthday/independence day/quinciañera parties. We don't listen to this music everyday nor dance like this often so the emotion is fresh and honest manifesting itself through movement. Solely focusing on recording the bum focuses on the stereotype of hispanics dancing with their hips, rather like Shakira. It also disregards focusing on a person or a gender because nostalgia is universal.
