Miranda July F.A.M.I.L.Y.
The Tokyo exhibition, curated by Mia Locks, features the July’s latest work F.A.M.I.L.Y. (Falling Apart Meanwhile I Love You), a multi-channel video installation based on a yearlong collaboration with seven strangers via Instagram. Participants send video responses to a series of prompts from July, who then brings them into her studio using the “cut out” tool from a free editing app designed for social-media content. The result is a series of surreal performances in which July and her participants explore intimacy and boundaries through a completely new physical language.

“With F.A.M.I.L.Y. (Falling Apart Meanwhile I Love You), I am trying to manually, laboriously fulfill what I see as one promise of Instagram: to be looked at so lovingly that we finally feel okay,” says Miranda July.

 

“This is July’s preferred mode of working: she initiates, and controls to some degree, an exchange but also welcomes other people’s desires and actions within it. She is experimenting with sharing power and control in a playful way,” explains Mia Locks. The Milan exhibition, also curated by Locks, spans three decades of July’s career, from the early 1990s until today, including short film, performance, installation works and the debut of F.A.M.I.L.Y. (Falling Apart Meanwhile I Love You).

 

The Milan and Tokyo projects are accompanied by an illustrated publication of the Quaderni series, published by Fondazione Prada.
