About this Item

8 page pamphlet published in conjunction with presentation of the video short - "Single Wide" at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Synopsis: 'Single Wide' revolves around a trailer house, a woman and a pickup truck. In the video, it is evening and the house stands in a landscape in the middle of the countryside. The camera travels in one steady movement, like an unblinking eye, circling the exterior of the house, the surrounding landscape and passing through exterior walls of the house to the interior. Inside there is a young girl's bedroom, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and parents' bedroom. We see the woman alone, carrying a bag with what appears to be the belongings of a young girl, walking through the rooms of the house. She exits her home and walks to a pickup truck parked outside. The truck engine is running and the woman sits inside in an upset and agitated state. It appears as if she is preparing to drive away. Instead, she drives forward, colliding directly into the house she has just left. Seen from the outside, the truck sticks halfway out of the front facade of the house. From within, the front cabin becomes an architectural extension, a room inside the room. With the woman as the central aggressive.
