One on One

This page includes videos that are currently stored within the WCFTR database and associated with the series: One on One.

Wendy Clarke produced the One-on-One project while an artist-in-residence at the California Institute for Men in Chino, California. She provided tapes for inmates to send a video message to the outside world. Outsiders, specifically residents of the Crenshaw neighborhood and members of the Church in Ocean Park in Santa Monica, then selected tapes and composed video responses. The two in conversation were otherwise prohibited from communicating, leaving the tape as an enabler, allowing seemingly cursory exchanges to develop into profound observations on connection, (in)equality, and the realities of the prison industrial complex.
