During the piece “Say Something to Bunny” by Alison Kobayashi, several key elements on film and art are represented and displayed, in which we as students were lucky enough to witness in our own lecture. During this work, multiple facets stick out; such as the archival material. The archival material is extremely significant because it gives the viewer a sense of a viable source and background in what is going on in the work as a whole. Once the viewer garners this deluxe understanding, everything else becomes more organic and easy to learn. Additionally, the archival material formulates a nostalgic point of view which evokes emotion in the viewer. By making her work interactive, Kobayashi constructed “Say Something to Bunny” she makes the viewer feel as if they are part of the film, in which forms again an organic source of a work gaining a relationship with the viewer and a positive space for the audience to feel important, even if they are not. By rescuing meaningful histories from obsolete media, you are making something that does not seem important, very valuable to a couple of people which is a beauty in itself. Many things in life go unattended to, even if they contain a massive sentimental value. This is something, we, as people seem to forget. While we are so caught up in the material fads life tends to give us (which is totally understandable) we tend to forgot/abandon the root of life. Which is human interaction, family and good friends? The relationships we construct do not have to be left behind, as many of those experiences can be documented and once bought back to life can evoke wondering emotions in a small group of human beings, which can turn into a large mass.
