Chromatic People

“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.
