Kelly Mark - 108 Leyton Ave

108 Leyton Ave (2014), a new film by Canadian artist Kelly Mark is her most personally revealing work to date. Built from common expressions relating to “everything” and “nothing”, it was developed over a period when Mark was living in the social isolation of a quasi-suburban limbo on Toronto’s eastern edge. “Everything” and “nothing” are constructed as opposite but asymmetrical roles performed by the artist for a split-screen projection, plumbing the contradictions of her own personality to reveal the bravura and insecurity of having no one to talk to but yourself.
