Artist's Statement
Tis’ the season for some holiday shopping on Black Friday once again. The one day where people line up hours early to get into stores and bombard the doors once the second hand strikes the hour of admittance. For my video mash-up I decided to work with the idea of the Black Friday shopping rush and mixing it with something as high tension and exciting, a horse race. Many aspects of these two ideas parallel each other, such as the horses out of the gate and the people being let into the stores, the race to be the first horse to cross the finish line and the person to get the first good sale, and the winner’s circle with the happy customers leaving with their purchases. Black Friday is hyped up for its sales, and who can resist during times when our economy is so low. I decided to exploit the madness of this shopping day and express how mad it really can get.
