Within walking distance of the historic Jamestown, Virginia excavation site is an interpretive museum called Jamestown Settlement. Outside of the brick-and-mortar museum building is an outdoor, living history area divided into three separate sections: The Powhatan Village, The Ships, and The Fort. I collaborated with the costumed interpreters working at Jamestown Settlement to create video diorama portraits. The resulting work is a three-channel video consisting of individual portraits. When shown as an installation, the juxtaposition of the Interpreters changes over time, raising questions about the understanding and fluidity of historical dialogues.
