Human bodies, animals, children, and plants undulate together on rapidly changing frequencies. Between landscapes of anger and sexual desire, a white-hot climax builds under the surface.

A collaboration between Emily Eddy and Natalie Chami (TALsounds), commissioned by Chicago Film Archives for the 2019 Media Mixer.

A collaborative multimedia exhibition with artist at performer Katy Albert, held at Roots & Culture Gallery in Chicago, October 11th – November 9th, 2019.

Being behind and in front of a camera is a rough way to live and most of us are living it these days. In Screen Play, Katy Albert and Emily Eddy explore performance between the screen, on screen, off screen, and some screens in between. Razing the standards of good taste, videos range from the grotesque to the intimate in a robust schedule of new and recent work. Objects arranged throughout the space reinforce the anguish and pleasure of living with oneself on the mind.

VESTURBÆJAR is a combination of footage shot from 2013-2016, blending three places along with the inhabiters of each. Using three different types of video recording devices, Vesturbæjar gives body and character to media. The video flows through a personal narrative connecting videographer and recorder, video and place, place and videographer.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is a mood piece, a painting, a few small thoughts

This is mine, but it's for you. I (CAN?) NOT BE DEFEATED Premiered at The Gene Siskel Film Center as part of SAIC's 2013 BFA Screening May 8th, 2013

HOW TO SURVIVE translates personal, physical, and political trauma into drawings, performance, video, and objects which are simultaneously expressions of emotion and calls to action. These artists are champions of self reliance, persevering in the labor of their forms and creating a community of leaders in a revolution of their own making.

How To Fight Like A Girl is a look inside a playful, political, gorgeous, ugly, queer-minded aesthetic. These artists' video and new media works call to glitter bomb the pigs, wrangle the bourgeois with pink lasso's, and drown the misogynists in play-doh spaghetti. Using tropes of theater, puppetry, drag, kitsch, and horror intertwined with fiercely intelligent social, political, and personal observations, these artists are paving out a current and important aesthetic like no other. How To Fight Like A Girl has toured to three venues across the US, Nightingale Cinema in Chicago Illinois, Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles, and Compliance Division in Portland Oregon.

Weird Movies From the Middle of America is a program of experimental film and video artwork from Chicago and the American Midwest. Like the dichotomy of bitter cold Midwestern winters and sticky, humid summers, this show is a pairing of interior and exterior, grace and clumsiness, static and wriggling. Using image and sound, these seven artists' films explain the love and hardship of Midwestern existence, and are all at once heartfelt, funny, emotive, and tragic.
