Recitation is an audiovisual piece examining oral traditions and their relationship with text based information and belief systems, in particular religious texts. Inspired and utilising a poem by Jarmain Patrick, which was performed during a development week which brought together visual, spoken word, and audio artists. It incorporates computer animated text/hand-made graphics and footage captured by a mobile phone camera.

An homage to Luis Buñuel´s “The criminal life of Archibaldo de la Cruz” with a twist to these days control systems of security.  From the moment we are suspects we are potential culprits. Therefore we are all guilty.

They say there're only two stories in the world: man goes on a journey, and stranger comes to town. Six people are interviewed anonymously about their experiences coming into the U.S. Each then designs a video game avatar who tells their story by proxy. Goss focuses on the questions and examinations used to establish identity at the border, and how these processes in turn affect one's own sense of self and view of the world. Stranger Comes to Town re-works animations from the Department of Homeland Security--combining them with stories from the border, impressions from the on-line game "World of Warcraft," and journeys via Google Earth to tell a tale of bodies moving through lands familiar and strange.

This is a search for the lost, or to be more exact wasted time spent during obligatory military service on the edge of Schengen country, which is embodied by the absurd micro-performances of the young showoffs and in banal, everyday monologs about the sense (or lack thereof) of their presence, enlarged to almost Becket-like dimensions. The situation: No one knows what will happen next. Its unsettling aspect: Even capturing migrants would seem to be a reasonable option, but the soldiers are too far from the border for that to happen—a war movie without a war. The only thing that remains is concentrating on one’s own emotional situation. When your existence becomes a kind of service and your superior has lost the authority which gives him meaning, service on the border becomes a borderline case of filmic/linguistic representation. Though these Images from a Diary of Waiting seem strange and foreign, they have more to do with us than we would prefer. Lo-fi science fiction without a future, the soldiers themselves are the aliens, and the enemy looks like your best friend. Really spooky.
