I was invited to take part in a live installation with Charles Atlas & Mika Tajima (of The New Humans) at the SFMOMA
The installation was a blurred line between filmmaking and performance, where I was both Director of Photography & Participant.
If you walked into the museum, you immediately were drawn to a film crew, lights, dolly track and weird array of monitors and mixers, that seemed to be controlled by no one. Sets on wheels were moved randomly, strange feedback and the sound of broken glass shattered through speakers, and old movie lights were dimmed without motivation. Unlike most film sets, you were allowed to get as close as you wanted. If you followed a series of red arrows on the floor, you were led to a theatre where the entire surreal behind-the-scenes installation was projected. Up on the screen , you may be watching yourself, starring at the very same camera that is watching you.
