BETHLEHEM

by Peggy AHWESH
2009 / Video / color / sound / 1S / 8' 30

Working through my archive of accumulated video footage, I pretended it was found footage from anonymous sources, editing memories like a string of pearls. What began as a tribute to Bruce Conner of the period of VALSE TRISTE and TAKE THE 5:10 TO DREAMLAND, with their deliberate pace and bittersweet memory of home, ended as a dedication to my father as I wound my way through personal miscellany with distance and a broader aim.
