You Can Do It! Good Job!
Enthusiastic encouragement is an evocation of support often instigated
by a burning frustration. When performed attentively, it can be highly
rewarding for both the speaker and the recipient.
You Can Do It! Good Job! is the second video in my
Weird Feelings series. The series
examines emotional and mental states often under-represented in
traditional narrative films. I create the videos by digitizing and
cutting up instructional and infotainment VHS tapes I find in thrift
stores.
This video was available in a limited run of 20 hand stamped looping
DVD-Rs at the MDW art fair in Chicago, IL courtesy of What It Is
gallery (Facebook link). If you'd like your own in-home personal performance of You Can Do
It! Good Job! please contact Tom Burtonwood and Holly Holmes at What
It Is.
