It invites testimonies from people who are reacting to our contemporary world in their own unique way.  Five screens, five very different visual narratives.  Short sequences loop over and over, almost like dreams or memories one doesn\u2019t want to forget\u2014 or can\u2019t. \n\nThe overlaid narration, at once intimate and familiar, suggests personal lived experiences. Yet, the somewhat fleeting qualities of each video keep us guessing at their true meaning and stimulate our opening up to unfamiliar, hence, discomforting forms and meanings.  Part community art project, part found footage film, part personal documentary, Five gives voice to five individuals (S.G., L.C., K. H., J. S. and T. P) each living with mental health issues. \n\nThrough a process including collective workshops and one-on-one dialogue, I sought to provide each participant with the necessary skills and knowledge needed to produce their own personal narratives, without fear or shame.  \"West of Greensborough\" is an exploration of inter-cultural relations with interpersonal ones.  The work asserted the right to opacity \u2013 the right to not be understood, and the possibility to \u201cbe\u201d and \u201cbuild\u201d with people we do not understand.  The installation asserts the right to madness and marginality.","space":"\u2022Five monitors or projectors\n\u2022One set of headphones for each monitor or screen \n\nScreen 1, https:\/\/vimeo.com\/350298337  Password: theaves12\n\nScreen 2, https:\/\/vimeo.com\/359102968  Password: theaves12\n\nScreen 3, https:\/\/vimeo.com\/359109548  Password: theaves12\n\nScreen 4, https:\/\/vimeo.com\/359133173  Password: theaves12\n\nScreen 5, https:\/\/vimeo.com\/359136321  Password: theaves12","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Roberto","surname":"Santaguida","email":"rob.santaguida@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"HG464340","address":"14-2378 Queen St E","city":"Toronto","nacionality":"Canadian","country_id":"41","birthdate":"1980-01-19T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1980-01-19T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+14389692436","web":null}
