In the manner of Haiku, TANGLED HAIR is a multi-channel video poem installation. Shot on location in EPS studio, the camera is turned around on herself and she recites the poem repeatedly. Two videos are juxtaposed and presented so that the 40 second three-channel edit loops, while a raw, uncut version plays out its full duration for approximately 12 minutes in real time, their sounds layered in the space and creating an intermingled soundscape.
