  • “Eight Women” Laura Bouza

    bouza Leona Trinin EIGHT WOMENbouza Eunice Greenberg EIGHT WOMEN

    Eight dancers, now in their eighties, continue to dance. Beginning as suburban housewives in 1950s Connecticut, each were swayed to join a community dance ensemble later to be led by Charles Weidman and other prominent modern dancers of the time. Some were professional level dancers, others were just curious. Regardless of ability, regardless of intent, this evolving group of women created an engaging ensemble that extended past the stage, into their lives. A rendering of the intersections of motherhood, marriage, and movement, the film reflects on the delicate balance of their lives as homemakers and dancers. – LB

  • “Takeoff” Cassandra C. Jones

    Take Off (2012) is a Snap Motion Re-Animation constructed from photographs pulled solely from the online public domain archives of NASA. The photos I selected represent all of the successful Space Shuttle launches from 1981 to 2011. What interested me about these images was how much I remember each launch from all the media coverage but how little I know about the specific tasks each Shuttle carried out. Not only has space travel been a striking achievement of human ingenuity but the resulting imagery from each mission take off has a rich potency in and of itself.   – CCJ

    Time Perception refers to one’s subjective experience of time, which is measured by one’s own notion of the duration of the indefinite and continuous unfolding of events rather then real time. It reflects about how our perception of time is conditioned by our form of living and surroundings environment.

    This video has a duration of 24 minutes. It is composed by 12 sunrise and 12 sunsets filmed during a period of 1 year at Miami, Florida. Each 1 minute sunrise and sunset correspond to one month of the year. The dialogues are the voice recording of 12 participants everyday’s life. Each of them compiled into 2 minutes, corresponding with one sunrise and one sunset. –SD

    Brokenflo is an intermittent serial portrait that explores the rhythm and deep structure of cyclists involved in their daily commute. People emerge over time from their collective, soft-focus anonymity and fleetingly present themselves for this long-lens portrait before disappearing again into the flux and flow of the city.

    Light and shadows 6 is a film recording the changing light and shadows on the walls of a room as the sun sets. It is a silent, time-lapse film that captures the movement and vague shadows of leaves and branches of a tree outside the house as they are projected into the room by the setting sun. As the sun changes its position in the sky during the year, the nature of the light entering this space will also vary, projecting different shadows into the space of the room. – AP

    An abstract representation of the sun created by a video of ocean water on a beach. There is a subtle energy contained in its geometric form that appears to be alive and breathing. It is a short meditation on movement and life that can emerge from real and ethereal connections. – KYC

    In the performance for video, Rise & Fall (Beijing), the artist, Kate Casanova, lies on the ground with a camera held to her chest. The image of the sun rises and falls with her breathing, stitching together the human body and its surrounding environment which, in this case, includes the ever present haze of pollution that hangs heavy in the Beijing air. – KC
