In the artist’s own words:
You’re Joking! 2005-2006
You’re Joking! is a series of vignettes in which the actor describes everyday racist incidences in different modes of address, edited together to reveal the processes of becoming and establishing new meanings into the narration thus calling into question notions of authenticity and hierarchies of victim-hood.
