3.10.11

new york day 3


today i wore a more fruity (pear) and floral (jasmine) scent with a dash again of cade (dark, smoky), and it seemed to get more attention for sure 

i did chose to spend some time in one of the churches on 14th today, to pray and to experience some of the ritual of people who spend time in that space on a daily, or weekly basis


then of course, by the end of my performance i walked by a man in short shorts yelling to a bus "jesus loves you! jesus loves you! and jesus loves you everybody on the bus! let's pray..."

fear of the dark is a protein sweethawt
dead metal hey gorgeous
fronds clatter hallucinating
no habla espanol boca grande?
you got a boyfriend?
i just wasted a block

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.
