Fight Scene: Take 37

Directed by: Lindsay Napolitano

Experimental

RT: 19 mins

 

 

Based on a collection of tape-recorded arguments between the artist Lindsay Napolitano and her partner over a period of several months, 'Fight Scene: Take 37' mixes performance, video, and documentary in an attempt to deconstruct the fight scene and deflate it of its intended aggression. Here we see the couple's domestic arguments re-enacted and dramatized into public spectacle confusing gender, pattern and specificity to the point of almost complete de-contextualization. And still a universal narrative emerges in this awkward, emotional, and experimental take on the relationship dialectic.
