Invisible World
A processing of a recent doctor appointment through moving images serves as a reclamation of the doctor’s ignorance, as well as an assertion for understanding disability and the physical world otherwise.
Artist Bio: Kym McDaniel uses moving images, collage structures, text, gesture, and the body to explore chronic illness, queerness/disability, and trauma recovery on screen. She has an MFA in Cinematic Arts from the Department of Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. www.kymmcdaniel.com More about the film: To apply for an accessible or Crip parking placard, a doctor within the state must approve the application. As part of the application, there are six medical conditions which qualify a person for a placard. These conditions include: (1) cannot walk two hundred feet without stopping to rest; (2) cannot walk without the use of an assistance device; (3) is restricted by lung disease; (4) uses portable oxygen; (5) has a cardiac condition; (6) is severely limited in their ability to walk due to an arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic conditions. Many people with disabilities are included these categories, and many people are not. This film is a record of my introduction to healthcare in the state of Utah. My processing of the appointment and consequential aftermath as a video object serves as a reclamation and assertion for understanding disability and the physical world otherwise.
