Home Movies Digital Film 6:31 2018 Statement: Home Movies was made about six months after learning that Garretson-Persans’s infant son had a rare diagnosis of missing genetic material. It combines “home movies” from the first year of life as a mother, footage taken on winter walks, and projection experiments recorded in the studio. Garretson-Persans uses her camera and the diptych format to move fluidly between external and internal worlds as a means of exploring a specific emotional moment in time.
