One Second Ethnography

How can anthropologists leverage mobile technologies to enrich both their research and storytelling?

Shot and edited on iPhone during field research between 2015-2017, "One Second Ethnography" is an experiment in multimodal ethnographic practice. Drawn from a much larger archive of footage, these short videos originally enriched my field note practices, serving as a form of audiovisual jottings. The edited footage, meanwhile, provides a readily accessible introduction to the ethnographic narrative of my research, moving between sites of media production and reception, as well as into spaces of daily life in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
