Hurt/Comfort Trailer (2022)

01 September 2022 11 mins

Hurt/Comfort is a series of confessional vignettes: The Character, The Camera, Fandom, and To Trade Places. The video imagines the livestream as the contemporary confession booth. The streamer, while playing Elden Ring, attempts to speak to an invisible audience, however, something has gone wrong; the streamer’s image has been distorted. The confessions are spoken from a place of subconsciousness as the streamer watches helplessly, frozen behind a Gaussian blur. A chat dialogue comforts the streamer during the ordeal, appearing to sympathize with her condition.
