The Unmotivated Actor: Sequence One (2024-2026) is the first component of a three-part television opera. Through prose, video, and auditory montage, the work stages the dynamic interplay between the contemporary apathetic subject and their found environment at the time of production. By adopting the temporal structures and narrative devices of mumblecore cinema, the blending of textual and visual signifiers suggests divergent systems of subjectification. The reflexive dialogue within the text is mirrored by a set of group relation chair arrangements designated for viewers. As individual narrative points converge, new associations emerge. This work is best positioned as a supplement to Keiso’s thesis, The Unmotivated Actor: Notes on the Impassive & Cultures Enabled by Apathy, developed during the two-year period of the Master CCC program.
