Artist statement: My video consists of coins being put in a
piggy bank. This video is about consumerism. The video is inspired by the movie
Fight Club. In Fight Club at one point, Brad Pitt’s character Tyler Durden
rants about how we work so jobs to buy stuff that we don’t need. I took that to
be an attack on consumerism. He also questions who dictates to us what kind of
stuff we need to have or wear. I connect that with the video I made by
repeatedly putting coins in my piggy bank. You would think that I was doing
this to try to save money, but on the right side of the piggy bank, it says “fund
for a girls night out.” In the video, I am depicting myself to be seemingly
being smart by saving money, but really I am saving my money for something not important.
This gesture is an ode to the movie Fight Club.
