“How to Walk Through a Door” is a live performance that combines guitar, video, radio, and software to explore the relationship between sound and image across tourism and class. Structured in four movements, I pull a spool of wire through the strings of an electric guitar, controlling the erasure and reappearance of archival footage from 1960s Acapulco, Mexico. As a couple locked in an embrace emerges and dissolves, a woman pushing a stroller with their child remains visible in the background. This performance uses nostalgia to highlight the hidden labor supporting the image of the white, heterosexual nuclear family amid widening class and economic differences in Acapulco, then the center of Hollywood’s Golden Age. My work disrupts familiar associations between sound and image to draw attention to the unseen labor enabling privilege for the upper middle class and the rich.
