Still shots of “Death By Bad Taste” from a music video trilogy called The Three Terrible Deaths for musical artist Sophia Boro. Directed, shot and invented by Sarah Gallina. Here we see a monochromatic landscape of pepto bismol pink, a matching drab costume, lemons to jolt the starved senses, and monochromatic household items that collapse as she vanishes.
Still shots from Weather, a music video for musical artist Nellen Dryden. Directed, shot, and invented by Sarah Gallina. All backdrops and shapes were hand painted. A grey, black & white room was built to contrast a blue room. Through a mystical stop motion sequence during the instrumental bridge, one stormy room becomes the other: a weather metamorphosis. Since Nellen sings of the weather storming within her person, so too does the setting take place inside. Flowers only appear at the end as they do after the rain.
Sculptural props made by Sarah Gallina in the studio during a seasonal infatuation with fruit. An arm made of orange peels. A soda can also transformed by the world of oranges. Arrangements turned into photographs and videos.
Still shots from a personal stop-motion project called Travel to The Moon. A ground covered by feathers to connote weightlessness, tiny mirrors to bring in cool light to match a neon travel sign, checkered patterns to remind us of the familiar (stolen from a typical diner) but made strange when collaged against these odd shaped yellow objects in outer space.
Ink drawings of meat on fabric, installed in a pitch black environment and photographed for a stop motion project called The Water Workers directed and fabricated by Sarah Gallina. The project was generated to be the center film, and thus the belly of the beast, in a night of three videos set to live music by J.J. Murphy and trio. Shown alongside works by Lindsay Garland and Stacy Busch.
