You Could Be Home
The first half of the video consists of a drive from Los Angeles up the I-5 to Valencia. The female driver obsessively tunes stations between inane talk radio and world news reporting daily atrocities. The traffic is thick, the pressure builds and the image slips between fragile alienation and rising tension. As the car summits the pass into the Santa Clarita mountains a billboard advertises the concept of Home.
The scene snaps to an empty suburban street, where sprinklers water furiously. The woman walks into the frame, and with determination selects a sprinkler, locates and mounts it in an ultimate act of resistance, rebellion and bliss.
