STRUGGLEVISION #4
by Joe Miranda(BBSP)
“Making STRUGGLEVISION issues really feels like my attempt/homage/lining up with making a mixtape — Fresh and dust-collected sketches, ideas, flavours, matchings, movements that lay out the codes and fractals of what I’m seeing/feeling/thinking/being about at the time of release. Slightly less pressure to perform, raw by and within my standards, humour/skit peppered, mostly focussed on selection, and a small showcase/flex of what I can – and am wanting to – do. A “where I’m @” update in content & form.
SV#4 (and #3) loud with how I feel about Everything is Everything, textures, rhythm, narrative and dialogue, jokes, place, kin, hi-fi, lo-fi, criticality, silliness, clarity (and lack of) familiarity, strangeness, intimacy, distance, acceptance, rejection, growth, and absolutely not that. The Struggle, no?
Featuring images made between 2015 & 2025 in Tamaki Makaurau / Aotearoa, LDN, on Djaara, Taungurung, Gunditjmara, Wurundjeri, and Kaurna lands, in Venezia, and Margate (UK).
Launched at the Incendium Radical Library
In classic JMxBBSP form, it’s double header, SV#4 pairs well with STRUGGLEVISION #3.
