ETA is an experimental video by the collaborative team of Hillerbrand+Magsamen. Through performance, ETA interstices between art and the contemporary American family by playfully and poetically exploring perceptions of emotions, family, consumerism and media within a uniquely American subjectivity.

ETA is short for “estimated time of arrival.”  In this video a couple’s tension is illustrated through an intimate enclosed space of a car as rain and thunder dramatically pour down with an impending doom. The end reveals a constructed reality in a suburban environment that plays on ideas of film, theater and reality within a relationship.
