TOUCHING with Collage II A
large table with photographs of various sizes and
contact sheets of performance works (Yvonne Rainer and
"Story of a Woman who..." from 1973 and Robert
Whitman's Works). The sound surrounding the table came
from a television projection of a
Collage of films made during
the period of the performance works when the
photographs were shot, creating an aural context to a
visual that was constantly shuffled and reconfigured by
the visitor that was free to manipulate the cards,
reorganized them, sort them by sizes, movements and
more....
STRAINING a short loop of
tree branches and leaves shaken by strong winds that
uses repetitions and returns to insistent close ups and
jump cuts. The sound is played low and is very
choppy.
STRIVING was based on
continuity instead of interruption and was at night.
The musical track written by Anthony Burr was based on
variation of Ravel's Bolero. The duration was much
longer and the intent was to encourage a hypnotic
response.
The spectator was undergoing three distinct viewing
experiences in the three different works.
