Eliciting the emotional horror of the loss of identity, Black Bile is a 5 channel video installation that illustrates the continual and insidious process of self-alienation. Its name draws from pre-modern sciences and medicine that referred to depression as an imbalance and secretion of "black bile," one of the four humors. The looped imagery evoke the feeling of being trapped in perpetual cycles of depression and fragmentation.
