73 Seconds

About

In 73 Seconds, multimedia artist Jared Mezzocchi cracks open the quiet mysteries of his family’s past. What begins as a son’s attempt to better understand his mother soon spirals into a decades-spanning excavation of memory, legacy, the stories we inherit, and the ones we almost never hear. Jared Mezzocchi, celebrated for his genre-defining projection design and hailed by The New York Times as “a leader in the virtual world,” now steps into the spotlight. Using analog technology from the 1980s—overhead projectors, VHS camcorders— he constructs a live documentary, blending intimate storytelling with lo-fi magic. Directed by Obie Award-winner Aya Ogawa, 73 Seconds is an inventive, deeply felt new work that asks how we piece together the past—especially when it resists being remembered.
