Kerry Tribe: Critical Mass

Critical Mass is Kerry Tribes interpretation of the Modern Family spoken through the lens featuring three entities, one that represents the father, mother and child. Throughout the piece there is a recurring theme of vocal repetition between the dialogue of the mother and father. Meanwhile in what seems to be the child in the piece, the acknowledgement of whom is minimal if at all throughout its duration. A clear representation of individual consumption and narcissism, lack of priorities or self indulgence.

'Hollis Frampton’s groundbreaking experimental film Critical Mass (1971) captures an argument between a couple and cuts it up into a series of rhythmic, repetitive snippets. In this project a live performance of the classic structural film is staged with actors Nick Huff and Emelie O'Hara as the young couple.'
