Dynasty Handbag: “Titanic Depression”

Titanic Depression is a bonkers parody of James Cameron’s 1997 Hollywood hit, sending it up as a bleak parable of human arrogance in today’s era of runaway, consumerism-driven climate change. Titanic Depression flies upstairs, downstairs and in between stairs in this multi-character cracked looking glass—mirroring issues of class, mortality and personal responsibility to the earth and each other. Titanic Depression wields animation, soundscapes and a stunning video backdrop by filmmaker Mariah Garnett as it tilts this well-worn tale—sending up the powers that be in an antihero’s journey.

Jibz Cameron is a performance and video artist living in Los Angeles, performing multimedia work as alter ego Dynasty Handbag.
