REAL BITCH
Experimental Reality Show
Real Bitch is an experimental reality show that blurs performance, autobiography, and observation.
Each episode unfolds in real time, between 30–40 minutes, exploring presence, intimacy, repetition, and self-construction without narration or mediation.
The series rejects traditional reality-TV formats and instead treats reality as raw material: lived time, the body, domestic space, and emotional exposure become the structure of the work.
No More Than No More is a feature-length experimental film composed of abstract images and an original soundtrack by the artist.
Dream X Dream is an experimental feature film constructed as a continuous hallucination. Without dialogue and guided solely by original music composed by the filmmaker, the film unfolds as a sensory journey through dream states, altered perception, and recursive inner worlds.
Beasties & Besties is an experimental feature where the same footage is reimagined across multiple perspectives, creating a cinematic loop that transforms each time. The characters—hybrid creatures inspired by Barbara Brogi’s neon paintings—shift in form and emotion as the visuals mutate, distort, and dissolve.
That Old Lady is an experimental character study built from self-performed fragments, VHS textures, improvised monologues, and handmade props. The film follows a bizarre, unpredictable woman who slips in and out of personas: grandmother, trickster, performer, philosopher, and sometimes something not entirely human.
METAFILM is a cinematic recursion, a film that folds itself into the world that produced it.
Shot with a phone in the intimacy of the artist’s room—among pets, drawings, scattered gestures—it captures reality as something tender, banal, and unguarded. On an iPad in the same space, MORPHIC plays continuously, irradiating the room with its own dream-logic.
Later, the two layers are merged: the quotidian footage and the glowing universe of MORPHIC are woven together through drifting opacities.
A one-minute experimental confession.
Barbara sits alone in front of the camera, delivering an audition that is not for any role—except perhaps the one her heart secretly desires.
In a hushed, looping monologue, she speaks directly to the lens about a young woman who lives in New York City: polite, beautiful, unreachable.
