STROLLER FLÂNEUR
4" excerpt

Pushing a baby stroller, I examine the minutiae of my suburban neighborhood searching for patterns and narratives in the genealogies of architectural structures and topographies while simultaneously searching for items of interest for my son. My observations collage both real and imagined systems into metaphors of community. The methodology informing this video is a gendered rift on the practice of the flâneur where the necessity of childcare becomes a platform for textualizing suburban space.
