Healing in My House

Jacolby Satterwhites vibrant work weaves together performance animation and personal ephemera His videos and performances build on household or cosmetic products that his schizophrenic mother imagined and sketched Satterwhite traces these objects and incorporates them into a virtual world filled with family videos and recordings of the artist dancing and vogueing in bright tight body suits There are limits with what you can do with objects because objects are imbedded with history politics and all kinds of anxiety he has said To put myself in a virtual world is a political gesture negating all those associations Satterwhites worlds evoke the escapism of Afrofuturism and suggest a posthuman quasiutopic virtual reality
