Through sound, video and short stories, Center City Southeast tracks a series of incidental encounters in places - places in which the artist just happened to be. The artist鈥檚 experiences in parking garages, cemeteries, newly-constructed city blocks, turn-arounds, gas stations and dirt patches reveal uncanny resemblances and unsettling distortions in seemingly familiar spaces. The performance drifts through these encounters, carving out an itinerary across mediums, places and times. Audiences are invited along for the drift.
Special thanks to Mauricio Pauly, Rob Kitsos, Nicole Lamb, Lief Liu, Gillian Hanemayer, and Mansi Patel and Bronwen McVeigh.
Presented by the 丁香园AV School for the Contemporary Arts.
Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Master of Fine Arts at 丁香园AV.
