What do I owe ya, 20 minute performance, composed with found objects, found media, and live cameras
part of Quicker than a Ray of Light then Gone at Public Space One, Iowa City, 2024.
What do I owe ya is a play starring a selection of objects found in Iowa City second hand shops staged in an expanded cinema setting. The selection of objects were sequenced in specific relationships, observed and reproduced virtually by live cameras acting as viewfinders and paintbrushes, a counter balance to the onslaught of images we process every day without access to their physical origins. Live feed moving images are projected in large format behind the foregrounded activation, alternating between readable figuration and abstraction as the camera feeds are layered and manipulated digitally, mirroring the shifts of a thinking process that abstracts and reforms itself.
