About
Steffani Jemison's videos Maniac Chase (2008-2009) and Escaped Lunatic (2010-2011) present interwoven narratives composed of repetitious actions enacted by a group of actors that move through Houston’s outer wards and urban public spaces. Personal (2014) portrays three actors who each move forward and backward within the urban landscapes of Brooklyn, creating an altered space in time in which chronology, duration, and distance are conflated. All three works engage a compound political critique of urban space and architecture.
