Hello Sunshine

HD Video, Loop

A video sketch of a ragged, sunshine car air freshener, that is blocking the camera’s view. The sunshine travels along a soft focus street, obscuring figures and swaying in the breeze. The sunshine dances and spins in the foreground, with a cheeky gaze and a never faltering smile. A portrait of a non–human protagonist, whose fake face prompts the same visual mechanisms in the brain as a human face, Hello Sunshine suggests a social function of everyday objects.
