For this group performance, I set up a macro lens that recorded loops utilizing a pull focus, that were then layered repeatedly. The source material were hand-painted 35MM slides, plant clippings from the surrounding area, found-film, steel-wool, and polarized materials.
Curated specifically for the Museum’s Platform series by OptoSonic Tea founders Ursula Scherrer and Katherine Liberovskaya, the durational and site-specific group improvisation will feature visual artists performing live in different areas inside and outside of the Museum building, while live musicians and sound artists perform coordinated and spatialized works by composer and Diapason Gallery founder/director Michael J.
