Crossing the 49th, Killing Time, Simulated/Desire: A Simulation, I Wanna Be in Your World

Item consists of a video compilation portfolio by Mark Berabioff with four individual works, including "Crossing the 49th." Crossing the 49th is a narrative fantasy dealing with the notion that the total population of Canada could be swapped with the entire American gay population. The tape uses several methods to address this fantasy: blue American and red Canadian lips share ideas; keyed text in the guise of airport codes and clauses float across the screen; sections of slow-moving, bleached-out shots help create a dreamy effect that runs the entire length of the tape.
