Dusty Stacks of Mom: The Poster Project
Dusty Stacks of Mom, a 43-minute film, is a documentary-musical performance on her mother’s failing rock and roll merchandise business, using the warehouse where the merchandise was distributed. The film’s animations are created by using posters, postcards, and other commonplace materials in her mother’s business. They created a visual narrative and “psychedelic” scenes. The film was created as a musical performance, and when it screened they played re-written versions of Pink Floyd songs.
