Drawing inspiration from her parent’s wedding video in 1989 “Big Super Fun Love Dance Party” celebrates love as a dance video revolving around the exchanges of two rather introverted people. The groovy animation style is accompanied by the eccentric, funky beats of William Onyeabor’s song “Hypertension”. An awkward but exciting bop, Kathy choses to draw attention to the subtle interactions and expressions of people; attempting to reveal that the real reason we all love to come together is to party, (or to live, laugh, love etc.)
