              Point No Point is video documentation of the artist trudging through the ocean to become a human lighthouse. Set against the iconic landscape of the Pacific Northwest, Point No Point documents a performance staged specifically for the camera that offers novel contexts for the mind and the body. This video continues to explore Jennifer Campbell's subversion of the body through absurd and explicitly physical actions.

              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S013-SS007-0026 · Item · 2005

              “You thought they came home safely from the war. They didn't”. Poison Dust tells the story of three young men from New York who could not get answers for their mysterious ailments after their National Guard unit's 2003 tour of duty in Iraq. Filmmaker Sue Harris skillfully weaves, through interviews, their journey from personal trauma, to ‘positive' test results for uranium poisoning, to learning the truth about radioactive Depleted Uranium weapons. Their frustrations in dealing with the Veterans Administration's silence becomes outrage as they realize that thousands of other GI's have the same symptoms.

              The artist is suspended in the air in the midst of a grove of trees, spouting water in the form of a human fountain. The video is meant to trigger various interpretations: lawn-sprinkler, black pinata having sprung many leaks, ninja, woodland creature, or sacrificial performance, all of which are informed by the context in which the action takes place.

              Surreal film on measurement of tiny quantities. (The Prelinger Archives are a source of educational material, mainly ordered by theme, giving a vision of the dark side, the underbelly, perhaps naive of the American dream and the America that is often hidden behind the media curtain.)
