“Chromatic People” is a
reference to the bi-chromatic footage contrasted by the large array of
individuals from various countries or cultures present at a wedding. We tend to
overlook the destructive aspect of multiculturalism. My parents are the prime
example. Multiculturalism tore them apart. They both found shelter and weapons
in their respective cultures. This footage showcased here is from their
wedding. I have re-recorded parts of it with my phone. Those parts have been
reassembled to show an alternate reality of their union, thus creating tension
that slowly worms its way in the damaged black and white footage.
