VHS still frame looking over the shoulder of someone in her early 20s with shoulder length dark hair into the mirror reflection where her hand is covering her mouth. A second person in her early 20s is visible in the mirror with a camcorder in front of her face.

About the Project

Country: United States

Two friends from the midwest reunite after 25 years by using a VHS archive to connect the long thread of their past selves to who they are now. Midwaste is a vivid and personal exploration of drug use, healthcare, and the carceral system.
