"Bound III" delves into aspects of Hip-Hop and breaking culture, using an extensive compilation of archival footage alongside a soundscape of generative audio produced in Max with samples from Whodini, Julius Eastman, Ying Yang Twins, and Fox News as both a homage to the legacy of Black artistry but also a technical commentary that underscores the complexity and ingenuity of these art forms which are typically simplified/stereotyped in history. In this, archival dance footage is not merely presented but recontextualized—serving as a counter-narrative to mainstream perceptions.
