Muzi Quawson's practice explores the construction of identities within American subcultures by examining the lives of individuals situated at the fringes of the mainstream.
“Doll Parts” is a filmic narrative, which explores the daily lives of two young musicians. Filmed against the cinematic backdrop of Los Angeles, "Doll Parts" pays homage to the traces of Americana that still exist on the fringes of its modern culture. China Morbosa, the film's main subject, personifies a presence of the heroes of the late 1970s punk rock movement and the free spiritedness reminiscent of the Hippie generation.
