Walking/Marking

WM 1 Video Projection

Digital video projection of Walking-Marking performance onto Pearl Street bridge during its construction over the Gihon River, Johnson, VT, 5:24 a.m., October 22, 2009. Single screen, color, 3:31.

This video projection extended the private cultural labor of my Walking Marking performance onto the very public manual labor of the S.D. Ireland Concrete Company crew engaged in a 2-year bridge construction project just outside the window of my studio. By layering the two endeavors, I sought to highlight questions of their relative value, and correlations between their physicality, temporality, ephemerality, and mark-making.
