In the fall of 2023, I bought a used Sony video camera from the United States with the MiniDV cassette system online. It was an old model released in February 2007! Inside the camera was a cassette with 23 minutes of recorded footage from a vacation in Mexico. It's impossible to know when these images were filmed. In 2007? In 2023? Definitely between these two dates... Vacation by Proxy is these 23 minutes of film that I then reworked by transforming the image and the sound.
