Ordinary Windows

Ordinary Windows was a collaboration between Ordinary Spaces and Jump-Start Performance Co. The free event happened on Friday, December 7, 2012, with two performances at 8 p.m., and 8:30 p.m. This unique site-specific work was a fashioned by performance artists Andrew Coronado, Sandra Dunn, Dino Foxx and Fabiola Torralba. My video is a little promotional teaser I shot during the Thursday night rehearsal. It gives something of a sense of what the piece was like. I particularly like how the camera takes on such a voyeuristic aspect. And though I have gotten soooo lax about using music I don’t have the rights to for these little ephemeral offerings, I just love how this odd track from Trans Am melds so well a sense of agitation with resigned languor.

Leith’s Candle Dance at Noche de Recuerdos

Noche de Recuerdos was an annual event created by Proyectos Locos—Ramon Vasquez y Sanchez, Deborah Keller-Rihn, and myself. We presented this evening of floating, illuminated altars in the latter portion of October 2010, 2011, and 2012. The location was the small casting pond adjacent to Woodlawn Lake. There was also music, dance, and story-telling. Here is Leith Askins performing her candle dance. I had a moment to shoot a bit with my camera during some downtime, and I’m glad I was able to capture this beautiful moment.
