19.7.11

condensed description


getting some things ready for the show, i wrote a more condensed description, and shot a few images for it, practicing walking on the street with perfume on



A single garment will be worn for the duration of a performance, in which I will daily wear separate perfumes, while walking 14th Street, affecting the molecular atmosphere by my presence, between the banks of the West and East Hudson River. During these routine walks I will collect language from literature, pop culture, and conversation on the street.  Based on historical relationships between prayer, perfume and poetry, I will compose a litany to be the title for each site-specific perfume.  Finally, the garment worn during the performance will be crystallized in a solution preserving its use, but abstracting its form.
