Anyone Can Imagine Ten Places They’d Rather Be

“Anyone Can Imagine Ten Places They’d Rather Be” is primarily a film, with installation components. These children want to trace the development of possibility and the existence of expectation, or entitlement, in the American psyche. Their premise is that their lives must in some way exist in the imagination, as the real exists within realms of disillusion, apathy, violence, and capitalism. Suzy Liar is a young seer lost in the desert. Her story engages the mythology that across the desert lies the promise land. The film explores basement chemistry, premonition, and survival through artistic experimentation. The world seems a place of mass concentual hallucination. Traumas, abuses, collapses, learning how to do very abrasive hard work, makes for a complicated way of moving forward.
