Young video artist who films friends?

November 13, 2018 8:23 AM

A couple of years ago I saw a video that a young artist had made. It was of his (I think the artist was a he) friends partying in a park or the bush, at night, and then hiding and running from the police when they came. I’m pretty sure the artist was from the USA, possibly Texas, and was very young (late teens or early 20s). I think I saw the video at the National Gallery in Ottawa, but it is possible I’m mistaken on that. I remember reading that the artist is mostly known for videos of his friends. Does anyone have any idea who this could be?

Response by poster: Thank you so much, that is him. Middlemarch, I was able to track a longer version of the video from the segment in the link you included. The video has been stuck in my mind for some time and I'm glad to be able to see more of his work.
