Dad and David Visiting
2010, Video, 7 min 22s. Edition of 5.
Dad and David Visiting was produced while my father and his boyfriend were visiting us from San Francisco. They were sleeping on a mattress on our floor. When I was walking past them one morning I realized the beauty of the scene and grabbed my camera.

My parents had two weddings in 1991; a traditional Indian wedding in my grandparents backyard, and a traditional Christian wedding at a chapel. They hired the same company to document both events. This video places each documentation side-by-side, highlighting the differences between each cultures display of marriage, as well as the way in which the videographers chose to document the weddings.

Talking to my Mom from Mikayla Gauthier on Vimeo.
My mother does not speak about herself very often and I do not want to miss out on the stories about what made her the woman she is today.
I made this video as a way to learn more about who my mother was during her childhood. I called her on the phone and recorded our conversation. I followed her words and speaking pace carefully to compose a text based video of her words to accompany the audio of her stories.
I secretly videoed my parents, in the process capturing two natural moments. Email me (lowrys@mail.uoguelph.ca) if you want the password to view the video.
My parents were pulled away from their regular evening activities and sat down individually to discuss my most recent series of abstract paintings. They weren’t told to analyze them or criticize them, they were just told to talk about them. They also weren’t shown or told what the other had already said. This video reflects not only their relationship to me as their daughter and the art I produce, but also to how they go about viewing art in their own separate ways.

Mom and Dad Arguing in Cantonese – Katie Cheung from Katie Cheung on Vimeo.
I secretly recorded my mom and dad having an argument in cantonese and I translated the whole argument into an english dialogue. I asked a couple, who are also my friends, to read out the dialogue without any context or understanding of what it is.
