The Decameron

The Decameron is an ongoing project that involves the creation of short videos exploring the possibilities of video collage and documenting my thoughts, dreams, and anxieties until I have made 100.

This project is named The Decameron after the collection of 14-century Italian novellas by Giovanni Boccaccio. Boccaccio created a fictional framing device that brings together tales from 10 people sheltering in a secluded villa outside of Florence to escape the Black Death. Each evening, each member of the party tells one story, except for one day per week for chores and for holy days. In total the group compiles 100 stories, ranging from tragic to comic to erotic.
