The Child's Lesson
2009
Digital video, 3 minutes


<--click to watch on YouTube


This video is a reenactment of an 1895 Lumiere Brothers film of the same name. The original was one of the first moving pictures ever shown to an audience, and was unveiled just before the dawn of Modernism.

In this iteration of the quotidian scene, the baby's dishes of food are replaced with pots of primary-colored paint and gold glitter.
