"Red Tape" - Performance and Mental Health

Red Tape from Sarah Muehlbauer on Vimeo.

In May 2020 I created this video as part of an international collection commissioned by Cirqulation for #MayMentalHealthMonth . To view the full film, featuring 5 artists from 5 different countries, follow the thread here on Cirqulation's website. 

“Red Tape” is a visual meditation on lines and limits, decompositional creation, and emotional complexities like apathy, acceptance, holding on and giving up. The title and visual metaphor are meant to be a projection ground for structural, institutional, and physical constraints, which are as much in reference to bureaucratic obstacles to well-being, as they are to red flags for physical and emotional distress."
