Rachel Reupke, Letter of Complaint

About

Letter of Complaint is a film by Rachel Reupke. The work draws on a combination of banal and desperate letters of complaint to communicate something that could perhaps even be called celebratory.

The film follows Reupke’s ongoing interest in the expressive properties of stock images and the ways in which they respond and transform, when coupled with stillness and awkwardness. It is a process of introducing a level of fragility and ambivalence into images that have been emptied of these properties.
