Alberta #3 is a meditation on family, heredity, madness, and time.
Alberta #3 was adapted to the theater play Stormshelter and is the opening chapter of my upcoming book ALL SKY, MIRROR OCEAN.
Alberta #3 was directed by Kyle Terrence who is a Canadian visual artist and filmmaker with an MFA in Intermedia. Terrence is an alumnus of multiple artist residencies including Pomorska Arts Residency Poland, Arts Letters & Numbers, and the Outellier. His films and artworks have been shown in both exhibitions and film festivals across Canada and internationally. Terrence is a contributing author to the upcoming publication Toxic Media Ecologies, a collaborative effort from the Intermedia Research Studio at the University of Alberta.
