Curios and Other Trinkets was originally conceived as a three-monitor video installation with four panel digital prints. The installation and video components are based on the characters from a vintage Banff tourist post card. The videos explore an imagined and expanded relationship between the Chief and Mountie depicted on the post card. The prints reference iconic symbols of Indigeneity and personalized imagery. The installation engages in irony with historic representations of indigenous people while repositioning the traditional stereotypical representation by a Canadian cultural history still hiding from reconciliation.
