"Episode". 2-Channel. 10 Minutes. Color. Sound. 2002.

Episode presents a group of four adults acting as if they were a standard nuclear family unit of mother, father, daughter and son. Through a series of eight scenes they act out the underlying dynamics of familial relationships, from playful to painful moments depicting rivalries, discipline, modeling behavior, aggression, regression, vulnerability and affection. Their actions and gestures are underscored by cartoon sounds and silence in images that quickly converge and diverge on two opposing screens, to simultaneously expose subtly different, subjective points of view.
