Colin is my real name
Video, sound, mirror, text, 2013. 6 minute loop.

Nemer revisits Canadian video artist Colin Campbell’s canonical 1972 True/False, which features Campbell alternately affirming and negating delicate statements about his identity and private life. Initially intended as a remake, the video instead summons Campbell’s voice to speak once more in a fragile, reversed palimpsest.
The video material for Colin is my real name was filmed at Mount Allison University, where True/False was originally produced. The video is exhibited with Colin Campbell's original, accompanied by a rotating mirror and a vinyl wall text based on the script of both videos.
