Ambien Asparagus

Jordan Wolfson’s video turns language into a physical force that does not merely describe objects but presses against them, distorts them, and animates their meanings. In Ambien Asparagus the mechanical voiceover and the camera’s slow zoom – speech and image form a tense loop in which words seem to at once to generate, misread, and destabilize the things they name.
